This Christmas piece was born from a discussion at church about Christmas cards, and how pictures of the nativity are generally romanticised, looking too clean and comfortable. This started out with pieces of scrap paper from magazines, representing the reality of life, glued around simplistic drawings of the manger and the star. I then added several layers of acrylic paint and clear gesso over it. I lightly painted the cross in behind the star and then highlighted all the edges with a black pen. Lastly I added the words, which you can read if you click on the picture.
