The scene is of the humble manger where Our Lord Jesus Christ was born; the shepherds kneel in admiration and awe of this miracle of the birth of the Son of God. Surrounding the manger are the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph, a beautiful representation of the holy family. The image is lit up with a bright, holy light shining down from above, connecting the earth to the heavens.
To bring this image to life, I would choose colors that express the spiritual nature of this beautiful moment. Flesh tones for Mary and Joseph and a golden hue to bring out the heavenly light. Shepherds could be in deeper shades of brown, green, or blue to bring out the contrast and make them stand out against the holy family. The manger could be in a soft shade of tan or golden-brown. All in all, this image can be slow and calming, and bring peace and spiritual joy to its viewers.
