Review

Jay's distinctive crackle-glaze style captures the traditional song in all of its gift-giving glory. In what appears to be turn-of-the-century Europe (maybe Vienna), she uses a rich palette of lapis lazuli, crimson, turquoise, and gold to detail the gifts given by the singer's true love. There is nothing new here, but fans of the artist might want to add this to their collection.

Overall Book Score: good
