          Close-up Nativity
                July 2010
          I was commissioned by Glenmary Home Missioners
          to paint a close-up version of the nativity 
          for their
 
          annual Christmas appeal. I like the different 
          
          colors of this nativity piece - they convey 
          the mystery of the incarnation to me.
