Painting - Pastel On Sanded Paper/digitally Altered
Description
I painted the nativity scene in pastel to be used in our church at Christmas. We photographed it in sections and stitiched it together in Photo Shop to get a very high resolution image. the painting was then printed on transparent plastic and stretched over light boxes fitted around the cross. It spanned 12 feet tall and when lit from behind, simulated a stained glass window. I have taken the photos of my painting and placed scripture (describing the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ) using Photo Shop. I also created a star. This was done to create a Christmas card. I hope you enjoy this labor of love. :)

Wonderful composition and colors. Love the idea of printing it on plastic and turning it into a "stained glass" work of art.

Wow, Jean! I love this! I know what a job it is to scan things in sections & put them together in Photoshop! (not my favorite job!) This turned out so well! Congrats on your sale!

Congratulations, Jean! Your whole art gallery sings. This piece is especially beautiful. I'm in awe of anyone who can combine lettering. I'd like to know the secret.
