The Empty Tomb

Easter is here and what a great opportunity to illustrate the origin of this very significant celebration - the empty tomb. This is my depiction of the dawn after the stone was rolled away for all to see that the Savior has risen from the dead. This is a fun one hour Photoshop session and I only used two colors - green and red. As red echoes the death on the cross, green swallows it up with hope and new life.
Happy Easter to all.

That is -lovely- Armand --so appropriate and so simple and just...it's wonderful. Happy Easter! We just got done with the Good Friday easter play we reprised (this is the one with the laundry-bag fabric armour) so seeing that tonight is just...completely and utterly fitting.
