Chinoiserie Christmas original watercolor painting, The Annunciation

In the biblical story of the Annunciation, the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and asked her to be the mother of Jesus. 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.

Chinoiserie style is personal to me, because it's an adaptation of Chinese art for a western (French) audience, which also happen to be my own two heritages.

My original watercolor and ink painting is stamped with my Chinese seal and signed. The gold frame can be hung on a wall or propped on a surface. The painting is 6 inches wide, and the frame is 8 inches wide.
