I enjoy reinterpreting subjects from the long arc of Art History. In this case we see the bedraggled Holy Family approaching a campsite in the desert. This theme, a family of persecuted refugees, interpreted by many famous artists allows for displaying one’s ability to draw and paint the following: figures in a landscape, donkeys, old men and young maidens baring their breasts in acceptable and holy fashion. And of course there’s the Christ child in his meek and mild mannered post Nativity normalcy. Being a refugee is hardly normal however. Please take note!
