Description
Luke 2:1-7
The Birth of Jesus
"2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them."

The top painting "Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem" has two companion paintings... "The Journey to Bethlehem", pairs to create "No Room In The Inn", and this Painting, "Christ is Born", replaces the Journey painting. "Christ is Born" was inspired by a intense painting by Charlie Roman, of Ponce, Puerto Rico. His intimate portrait of the Holy Family touched my heart, and with his permission, I have used his concept of intimacy to create this painting, completing the series;

I eagerly anticipate seeing one of your amazing vintage repurposing exercises or a diminutive…I KNOW you still have the …”magie d’automne au fond de votre cœur”.

The image of the holy family and Infant Jesus was based on a painting by Charlie Ramon, in Puerto Rico.. I asked him for permission to use the concept of his intimate vision of the Holy Family. My work is no where near as beautiful as his. I thank you for your kind visit...
