Open Edition Fine Art Print
I painted Golgotha as a witness of the Cross — the place of the skull, the torn veil, the light standing in the dark, and the way opened into the presence of God.

Golgotha, print is an open-edition fine art print based on the original 2017 acrylic painting by Anne Reid Artist. A tall column of crimson and white light streams from the Cross through a deep field of violet, amber, and dark earth — figures standing below, skulls at their feet, the way now open. The work speaks to the crucifixion, the tearing of the temple veil, and the access Christ opened into the presence of God.
I began Golgotha in 2017 in the community studio in Oakville, working in my usual prophetic abstract process — choosing color, moving with the paint, and allowing the marks and forms to emerge before I fully understood what the painting was saying. I was working with purple, red, and deep shadow, following the movement of the Spirit before knowing the image.
The first thing that struck me was a cluster of pale, rounded forms near the bottom of the canvas. They looked like skulls. That is where the name came from: Golgotha — the place of the skull.
The painting became a meditation on the Cross, the blood of Jesus, and the tearing of the temple veil. The red and white streams descend like blood and light — sacrifice and access opening at the same moment. The figures near the base are not characters in a scene. They are anyone who has stood before the Cross and had to decide whether to come close, stay distant, or turn away.
The most important theological meaning of the work is the veil. When Jesus died, the veil of the temple was torn from top to bottom — not by human hands. That tearing meant that through the blood of the Lamb, the way into communion with God was opened. The figures in the painting appear to be moving toward or through that opened place. The skulls remain below. The movement is upward and inward — toward the presence of God.
I have since stood at the traditional site of Golgotha in Jerusalem. The painting did not come from that visual memory — it came from what emerged on the canvas. But having stood there, I understand more deeply what the painting holds.
"He was pierced for our transgressions… and by his wounds we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5)
"When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, 'It is finished.'" (John 19:30)

I began Golgotha with color and movement, the way I begin most paintings. The skulls appeared first, and the name came with them. Then the light, the cross, the figures, the veil. I did not plan any of it. I followed what I saw emerging, and the painting showed me what it was carrying. That is the nature of this kind of work — it flows from the inside out, before the mind has words for it.
