Christmas Eve

Beautiful clear dark sky;
The beginning of a frosty nip in the air,
And a new crescent moon arises among distant stars.
Was it such a night as this
That shepherds were out keeping watch over their flocks near Bethlehem?
And after the angel, which scared the life out of them,
Just imagine vast flocks of angels spiraling around, 
Like streams of coloured light dancing in the darkness...
Wow... all that joyful breathtaking glory...



this oil painting was requested as a Christmas card this year by Cornerstone, Charitas, Diocese of Salford
