Glad Tidings Of Great Joy




                                                         An original oil painting on canvas panel
                                                         18x24", unframed
                                                        

     This is another of those folk-art Christmas fantasies which I referred to in the previous
post called Silent Night.  This painting also relies heavily on flattened decorative pattern,
shapes and texture, but still I find that there is something fairly authentic about the spare,
silhouetted, Greek Orthodox priest, ringing out the good news of the breaking dawn.
