Joyful and Triumphant

It is now Christmas week and I hope yours is joyful and triumphant. This is a watercolor painting that I made for Christmas in 1997. It took forever to paint all the little pieces of stained glass. This angel is blowing a shofar, a horn sounded by the Hebrews to announce important events; in this case, the birth of Christ Jesus. As I was painting it, my husband came in to see. I asked him, "What do you think?" He responded, "Shofar, sho good!"
