My simple nativity.

Plein air painters are usually outside enjoying and enduring the beauty of nature. This painting was done in the beauty of a quiet church sanctuary with sunlight coming through stained glass windows. Looking at the faces of the figures, I’m hoping to find faith and humility. Instead finding respite from what has become a hectic activity.

This Christmas, challenge yourself to approach the holiday with fresh eyes. Allow yourself to be awed by the beauty of Mary’s faith, Joseph’s obedience and the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ.

Luke 2:11
