Lady L in Progress...
This is in progress to be done by Christmas Day. You may see an updated version after the holidays...but I started this at the demonstration painting at the Dutch Art Gallery on the 17th of December. I still have some value shading to adjust a bit darker on her face and then it will be done.

Excited Angels Around Us.
At this time of year you can often just look
around and visible see those little Angels. These two caught my eye and I
took a series of images as their faces changed with the cold wind
blowing them about on the float they were in for the Mount Vernon
Christmas Parade.
Can
you even begin to imagine how the real Angels were twittering about in
joyful love and expectation waiting as Mary and Joseph rode into
Bethlehem?
They knew what was ahead and coming. They
were at God's side and waited as He laid it out before them. Their
excitement could hardly be hidden or contained... GLORY TO GOD IN THE
HIGHEST.
Compare it to the little ones in your life and their expectation and excitement of Santa Claus arriving.
Gee what would it take for them to feel that same level of joyful anticipation over the spiritual celebration of Christmas?
Words of my heart, Laurie
"While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,
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.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and
lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host
appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the
highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
Luke 2: 6-14
