After Christ is hung on the cross he consoles his mother. I can't even imagine what Mary was feeling to watch her son die in the most humiliating way. This painting was also done while looking at a statue. I decided to use the minimalist style to convey the highlights and shadows of the stature. The watery ink conveys the solemn attitude. I am really proud of the shadows and my treatment of the figure.

I really like Jesus in this one; the shadow on his face that gives just the slightest detail but says so much and the shadows of his body look so good. I really like it.
