    uniE621 Magnificent Joy
    The Venice Chorale is located in Venice, Florida. The winter holidays have a slightly different feel in this part of the world. One of the most magnificent parts of winter in Venice are the sunsets as seen from the beach. As the name of the holiday concert that year was "Magnificent Joy", I wanted to highlight this in the artwork I created for the concert. This is a composite piece that was created by combining several different photographs, my own digital artwork, as well as stock art of fireworks that I used to create the palm trees.
