Anne Marie and I painted this backdrop for The Festival of the Nativity. It went so much faster than last year's. That one, with all the outlines and complicated shading, took about three weeks. This one was done in three days. Whew! (This was a relief, as we're both pretty busy!).
We were given the image to enlarge and paint on the backdrop. I don't know who created it originally, but on the last day of painting I realized that the two camels on the ends are actually the same camel. We were laughing over how we didn't notice at first, even after tracing and painting both of them.
We had a little trouble when we used up some leftover black paint from last year and then started a new can, only to discover that the two blacks didn't quite match. Anne Marie came up with some creative solutions so we didn't have to completely go over everything.
The theme is "Star of Wonder, Star of Light." Oooh, pretty!
