I have interpreted the scene in a chinoiserie style, in the tradition of \"inculturation,\" where religious art isn't created as a literal representation of the scene, but is adapted to reflect global traditions and culture, so that everyone might see themselves reflected in the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the Holy Family, I painted Simeon and Anna, as well as the two doves or pigeons that Joseph and Mary sacrificed. Interestingly, the doves signal the family's poverty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChinoiserie is also a blending of my own two heritages, so it's very personal to me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy watercolor painting is reproduced on a durable, clear acrylic ornament that measures 4 inches. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOrders placed by November 15, 2026 have the option for a pink bow velvet ribbon.
