One of my handful of loyal readers encouraged me to create and post "modernist" winter/Christmas themed graphics so here's one. This is called "Paths of the Solstice" and I post it on the Solstice, the darkest passage of the orbit of the year. The purple color is for Advent, the Christian waiting period of four weeks before Christmas. Created while listening to the moving and appropriate ambient album "Black Trees Among Amber Skies" by Canadian composer Altus.
Photosolstice, about 5" x 6", December 21, 2011.

I like the basic look and think it is cool you combined your "abstract" style with a Christmas tree. But I would love this without the tree. This would make a great printed Holiday card!
One thing you could do with this image is create a flip book with Christ either ascending or descending depending on which way it's flipped! or have Santa and the reindeers racing across the cosmos! or leave it the way it is since it looks really good as is!
Emikk, as a Catholic Christian I prefer not to be flippant about Christ.
Crisp and wintery -- evocative of the darkness and coming Light. Thank you!
