Artist's Description
Title: The Work of Christmas Begins
Media: watercolor on unprimed canvas
Size of original: 12 x 35 inches
Christmas is filled with glitter, giving, peace and goodwill. After all the celebrations do we 'pack' all this away? Do we take the Jesus of Christmas for granted?
The Epiphany season that follows Christmas is about keeping the vision of what the world could be with Jesus and helping it become reality.

About Judy Dodds
My fascination with the power of ‘thoughts made visible’ and the mystery of the word as a vehicle of communication has led me on a wonderful journey as I merge message and technique with watercolor, brush and pen into a finished piece. Each piece brings exploration, inspiration and discovery — on a concrete level as I work with my tools and experience; on a spiritual level as a passionate heart treasures God. My response to life’s journey is to work with words, be inspired by great texts, express the abstract more tangibly and ... listen ... for God's still, small, gentle voice within the cacophony of the ups and downs, joys and sorrows experienced. In this relationship God comes transforming, with hope-full and wonderful surprises!
