I painted this Crucifixion during Holy Week, 2014, but was concerned that it might be too modern for my sacred art blog and was unsure about posting it. I emailed a copy out to family and friends, some of whom are artists, to get their opinion and the response was overwhelmingly positive. My friend and fellow artist, Awilda Harrington, who just this past week had one of her paintings accepted by the Museum of Find Arts in Saint Petersburg, FL, had this to say. "Wow . . . the reason I like it is because it is disturbing to me. His face demonstrates sadness as well as a pensive thoughtfulness as if in a prayerful mode. This painting has affected me more than any of your others." After reading this and other comments, I decided to post because I wanted to share it with you, my internet friends.
I would like to share the wonderful gift of art that was given to me by the Lord Jesus. "Artists, the more conscious they are of their “gift”, are led all the more to see themselves and the whole of creation with eyes able to contemplate and give thanks, and to raise to God a hymn of praise." Pope Benedict XVI
