Cruciform #5 (acrylic) by Polly CastorOn Good Friday, I thought I’d post some of my favorite cruciforms that I’ve painted.
The cross is not only an enduring symbol throughout history, stemming from the dramatic events remembered on this day, but it is also a strong design motif as well in its own right. Compositionally, it is rather an epitome in itself.

Good! I will share with a friend who is “homeless” and often makes cruciforms from the leaves he finds around the area. He’s also full of love and joy! a sincere student of the Bible and other spiritual teachings…an inspiration wherever he goes! Me, for sure. He has a bike, a guitar, a very few other items…and a BIG smile!
Love teaches in mysterious ways, huh.
