This landscape oriented piece is based on the classic Christmas hymn, O Holy Night, written by Placide Cappeau de Roquemaure (1847). It begins with: "Christ is the Lord…" The calligraphy and artwork were done entirely by hand - without the aid of a computer.
The piece was hand lettered with a Gothicized Italics lettering style, in a red cadmium deep gouache ink. The illustration depicts Border hand-painted with watercolor and gold accents added.
