Images on the North Wall, in order of appearance from the back of the nave (west) to the front (east).
The sanctuary at Holy Cross Church. A view from the nave:
The images of the Theotokos and the two angels in the apse, as well as the archangels in medallions on either side of the iconostasis, were already in place for many years before I started work at this church. Those icons were painted on canvas and applied to the wall. A parishioner had painted the dark blue backdrop and the red line in the apse. Above the apse there is another medallion with the image of Christ “not made by hands” (cut off in the picture here).
The central image I painted in the sanctuary is the Communion of the Apostles. There are two full-figure hierarchs pictured on either side of this image, and then six more in medallions on the arch above the iconostasis. Pictures here.
There are two saints visible only from inside the sanctuary: St. Theophil, the fool for Christ of the Kiev Caves and St. Ilarion the Georgian of Mount Athos.

The top figure is the Hospitality of Abraham
The image at the bottom behind the choir stand (and the temporary scaffold) is the choir of angels, together with four hymnographers.
The image leading out of the church is of a group of missionary saints.
On the wall between these three main images is a vine with favorite saints of the Holy Cross church community.
Scenes from the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The images are found on the north wall of the church.
Images found on the south wall of the narthex.
