40 X 35 Oil on Canvas - Based on a scene from “Christmas with the Chosen”, Liz Lemon Swindle has created a Christmas themed work of art that can be hung year-round. The pregnant Mary and her husband, Joseph, travel across the desert landscape to the place of Joseph's birth - Jerusalem. What makes this painting so unique is the immense "negative space" Liz has created with the blue sky at the top of the image. This empty space dwarves the couple in their surroundings, an allusion to the vast impact the Child she carries will have on the world.
