ANGELA AND THE BABY JESUS
This image for Frank McCourt’s Angela and the Baby Jesus picture book came to me just by thinking of a warm fireplace on a cold night.
In this particular scene the family sits around the fire to chat after tea. Angela’s little brother is giving up the secret that the "Baby Jesus" is in the bed upstairs. Angela shows a bit of worry in her face, since she quietly snuck the "baby" into the house. Surely she’ll be in trouble now.
Throughout the story I hardly show any of the adult faces, focusing mainly on the children’s world. Hence, Mother’s back is turned toward us. I also cut off the little brother’s face by having Mother’s turn-of-the-century hairdo get in the way (A little thing I learned from the great artist Degas.) It gives the scene intimacy, as if the viewer is there taking a snapshot with his camera. All in all a fun and rewarding book to illustrate. It was an honor to turn McCourt’s words into actual pictures
