In Love



I saw this painting posted on Chocolate on my Cranium and I instantly fell in love.  This painting is gorgeous.  I love the midwives--especially after listening to the painter, Brian Kershisnik, describe why he included midwives in the story.  I also loved his explanation of why Joseph looks so upset and why Mary is comforting him.  Awesome.  I love everything about this picture--especially that Mary is resting  and nursing and not kneeling.

Go to here: http://kershisnikprints.com/print.php?t=232&m=giclee&s=available and listen to Mr. Kershisnik talk about this painting.  He cries.  So did I--several times.

Ands, I actually have a painting of that artist on my list to buy next year. April. It's going to happen. But yes, I love that nativity picture, I've seen it before, but the interview was really sweet. And Oskar is adorable!
