Beautiful drawing, it takes me back to my childhood, I so wanted to be a shepherd in the school nativity plays, but was never selected. This captures that magic I found in the wandering shepherds when I was young.

Oh Moon, I am so very sorry that you were never chosen to be a shepherd. Thank you for your wonderful review.

This reminds me of such an important event that we celebrate soon and that is the birth of our Lord. I read maybe the same book to all my girls. The has so much impact. I know your friends are getting such a beautiful card this year.

Thank you Joel, for your kind review.

Comment from Mara del Mar
This is cute, Linda. (Pun) I like the scene of the shepherds, and for me, is more emotive and beautiful that the scene of the three magic kings. From his humility, they search Jesus to render glory and praise, without more gifts that their hearts and the goodwill. This is great!

Great thought, Mara, that the shepherds brought only their hearts to give to Jesus.

Comment from nlmcmichael
Such an amazing talent. This will make beautiful cards. I wish I had a tiny amount of your abilities. Whether you are just redrawing a picture or creating they are done with such finite detail. I still love the one of the angel.

Thank you so much for the 6 star rating, and for your very generous and kind review.

Comment from snowblaze
The backlighting with the star is remarkable. The lowlights and subtle shading of the foreground shepherd bespeak of a light source that also guides your incredible drawing. Bravo.
