Holy Family

11 X 14 tempra on paper, 1995
NFS
Here's a little ditty I did for Christmas of '95. It's mostly tempra and some guache (or whatever that's called). I was hoping for kind of a luminesence (is that a word?) where you don't really get to see the baby Jesus, but he is the light sourse that illuminates mainly Mary and also Joseph behind her. Very splattery, lots of home made glazes made from glue and water washes. It was fun. My 7th graders hate Jackson Pollack and Mark Rothko so I'd bet they'd HATE this, but my wife and mother-in-law both like it and they're pretty hard to please.

Merry Christmas web-surfers!
