1. Looks like torture.

For people with chalk allergies.

2. It is now under plexiglass and all of them are spray sealed.

3. Very , very nice!

I really like the colors and the shapes of the crosses within the circles and Jesus's blue halo aura. You have a very composition and the odd shapes of the pieces make them very interesting. Almost as if they were church windows. How big are the individual pieces?

4. Thank you for your kind words! They are all different sizes. some 3"x12" some 6"x20"...

All 15 pieces fit on 16 sq ft of board. It really fills the eyes.

5. That's really quite wonderful!

I love the composition and the blending of body and cross. And the strange juxtaposition of traditional pastel Easter colors and the pain of the scene is stunning. Don't break up the set. The repetition is a source of strength, insisting on being looked at.

It's art.

6. Thanks for checking it out. Yes, I used pastels for this because the sacrifice is the beauty

more so than the resurrection. I am smiling wide to read that you noticed.

They are all mounted with brass tacks (3 each; 2 up 1 down) to the boards and under plexiglass. It is a single piece and the repetition, as you noted, is intended to be challenging.

I appreciate your comments. Thanks again.

8. I'm just going to resurrect this thread one last time.

Before it disappears for a few thousand years.
