This a very emotive piece Maureen. Although it is only black and white, this piece is quite complex. Your details are impeccable, the angles and depth portrayed with the crosses, really allows the viewer to move through the scene. The downward gaze of Jesus also is well done with the angle and details of the thorns. The whole piece is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

This deserves a six! The details are stunning. The message even more so. It is refresing to see true artwork on here. I have been skipping a great deal of them that say traditional but are obviously AI. It just sickens me people trying to cheat to get a higher standing. It amazes me how people can't see the difference between AI and traditional. Keep up on posting art like this to give people the true meaning of traditional art!!!

Thank you very much for your wonderful review and high rating. Sometimes I get frustrated competing with AI but I understand that in this day and age they consider that art so it’s hard to fight it.

Comment from ABG Photography
This is a very intense thought-provoking incredible portrait in perfect timing for Easter and Good Friday. I like the way you portrayed Jesus on the cross in the silhouettes that are on his chest. It makes the viewer feel like Jesus is thinking about himself being strung up on that cross. I can see that a lot of thought went into this and a lot of talent.Thanks for sharing.

A very appropriate submission during Easter weekend. It is well drawn and demonstrates the Christian beliefs well. A very creative way of showing the crucifixion.

Comment from soulfeeder
This is such a profound painting of Jesus Christ with the cross on his head and also the three crosses at the bottom added so much depth and drama in this scene. I can see the agony and pain in his facial features. Your shading really defines the facial features and show the emotions. Excellent drawing skills and shading. The vertical frame is appropriate. A piece with a story to tell. Great job, Maureen.
