Silent Night


What's your favorite Christmas carol? I think the first I remember is "Silent Night." I've always had an image in my mind of a snow-covered landscape with a lonely manger, a warm glow from a fire inside, and a star... .

It's not so much religion as a symbol, of loneliness, of cold, of warmth, of hope.

This watercolor leaves much to the imagination and memories...as it should.

Merry Christmas.
