The 2010 Christmas card was ever more difficult than 2009, not that it was very difficult, but because of my tinnitus and eyesight problems, I went for a less detailed look. I'm not 100% happy with the composition, but it's okay. The real image is over 3500 pixels wide. Again, I I exclusively used the digital airbrush tool in Painter 9.
No in-jokes here... this piece is a semi-fantasy image because of the Christmas tree. The 1904 World's Fair closed before Christmas, but the statues and Fair scene is historically accurate. I added some watm tones and washes to suggest more of an old-fashioned feel. This image is not my favorite Christmas piece that I have done.
