Easter Art: Tree of Life

Easter is 50 days, and we are only 3 weeks in!

I got the idea for this week's art project from  Deep Space Sparkle , who did an interesting take on Klimt's Tree of Life.  The original picture from Klimt is the one on the left.  Her take is on the right.

I thought it looked interesting, but I couldn't shake the association with the song that starts, "Tree of life and awesome mystery..."

In the song, the tree of life is the cross- what a great Easter project!

Here's what we did:



 Klenda's design incorporated hearts and birds.




Zorg's tree wrapped vine-like around the cross and ended up looking like a monstrance.



Leena's had a rose to represent the blood of Jesus, and a blue flower to represent the waters of baptism.

Choclo painted a sweet (but unrelated) "I love you". His heart looks like an actual heart!



And Oob painted this.  A bit more Picasso than Klimt!
