MERRY CHRISTMAS, OLIVIA!

Deepest apologies for the seemingly lackluster qality of this gift- times have been trying, and due to a work incident, my wrist has been aching, and thus may account for the sparse background and lack of usual attention to details.

However, here is the gift for my dearest, loveliest friend and spiritual twin, Olivia, the magnificent !

As she had requested for Christmas 2015, a tender moment shared between the 12th Doctor and Clara Oswald.

Initially, it proved difficult to imagine a tender scenario between the Doctor and Clara, given the adreline-driven pace of their escapades. Nonetheless, realizing that in the fictional unvierse of the Doctor Who series, free license with scenarios is well within the permissable parameters for the fans.

Above, the Doctor and Clara, seeking a respite from rescuing planets and peoples from the brink of disasters or resolving cross-galatical crises, are savoring a lulling night at a ball, somewhere in the elegant ballrooms of the once-affluent somewhere in Europe in the 1830's.

Clara's dress is rather anachronsitic in several fashion elements- for example, while her curled coiffure, the "balloon" sleeves and the bell-shaped skirt are decidedly 1830's vogue, the raised bustle is actually oringinating from the mid to late 1870's.
It should be noted that the Doctor's evening ball outfit is actually modeled after the 1860's and 1870's Belle Epoque model for men's formal eveningwear.
However, given that in the series, the Doctor and his companions often show up in various eras in their modern clothing (much to the wonder or disapproving dismay of the denizens they encounter), so their anachronstic apparel would not be entirely out of character in this instance.

Garbed in the festive hues of gold, red and green for Christmas, Clara thoughtfully appreciates this particular Christmas night. In a similar vein, the jaded Doctor actually is quietly savoring the serenity of Clara's company and the winter ball.

If the coloring for the floor designs and the pillar appear smudged or gritty, the quality of the aged lipstick employed had proven more volatile to work with, nonetheless, it created a rustic, marble-esque shade and texture I was aiming for here. The metal fretwork of the latticed window panes are frosted, revealing a frozen, blue night whipped by spits of sharp snow flurries. Paneled, the walls denote a palatial setting.

Olivia, my dearest friend to my heart, I truly and earnestly hope this gift will please you. Merry Christmas, my dear friend!

GOD BLESS YOU WITH AN INCREDIBLY WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR, MY DEAREST FRIEND AND SISTER IN CHRIST!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
