Description Winter Solstice is a holiday celebrated by many as a day of Rebirth (yes, I realize that I'm a day late posting these). It signifies the beginning of the turn of seasons, the "Rebirth of the Sun God", as the days begin to get longer again, and we move closer to Spring.

This may not be an entirely accurate depiction, but I wanted something to signify the holiday as the Sun God's rebirth as carried by my Lady Winter.

I wish many Bright Blessings to those who celebrate(d) the Solstice, and a Happy Holiday to all who are celebrating the other holidays of the season.

I the glow on her face from the baby’s light. But for my tastes he’s a bit too ... yellow? ... for the scene. I don’t know. Too high of a contrast? There's something jarring about it.

Still a lovely piece though. And I really do love the reflected light on her face.

Thank you

I was trying to find a happy medium of making him glow and not making him be GLOWING, yaknow I did turn up the contrast a little and added a few effects that washed out some parts and not others...I actually have a couple different versions of this one that I couldn't decide which to use, lol.

A belated Merry Solstice to you too, sis! This is really lovely, a very fitting homage to our Lord and Lady! It has a nice painterly feel to it, too!

I wish I knew how the heck I got that effect
There's a render editor in the program that lets you mess with the settings...I just sorta ran with it on this one and went "ooh...that looks nice!" I've tried to recreate it, but haven't come quite so close yet.
