Christmas at the Town Square

The Christmas market in full swing on a blue evening. Wooden stalls run down both sides of the square under strings of lights, a tree stands lit at the far end, and everybody in town is out between them in coats and scarves. There are stacked parcels in the foreground, a dog being walked through the middle of it, and gabled houses closing the square in behind.

Two thousand pieces of warm lamplight against snow, with the crowd the long job. Finished size 98 x 69cm.
