Easter Project

I volunteered to be a part of a Good Friday/ Easter project with my church. I haven't painted a ton lately and was a little nervous. 
The very beginning. There are 8 segments and when joined together will be the shape of a cross. We worked with a color palette and specific passages. I realized the above yellow was not really in the color palette, so I went a different direction.
My passages were of Jesus' resurrection and ascension.  Due to the shape of the canvas I had to rig up a way to attach it to a drawing board as a make-shift easel. (Just a piece of paper taped well to the back of the canvas)
I had the idea of 3 story segments. Hopefully it will come across well enough.  
This is just the bottom segment of the finished painting. It is acrylic paint and some paper collage. I used some silver paint and gold paper accents to try to give it more depth, etc. I will show the full painting later and of course the full cross when it is joined together. I can't wait to see everyone elses paintings! I am so curious what it will look like together.
