Some months ago I was asked if I would like to make a painting for our local church's Stations of the Cross. The idea was to combine the Easter story and the First World War. There are nine stations and I choose the last one where the Christ has been taken down from the cross and laid in his tomb. I spent a couple of sleepless nights thinking what on earth I'm going to paint and had I promised to do something that I can't do. I was given a big board which in its self was difficult to handle. Finally the image started to take form in my mind and here it is. At the moment it is displayed in an acrylic box in front of the Holy Trinity Church and tomorrow I'm going to walk with the other artists and members of the parish to see all the nine paintings at their stations.
