I would look first at what it is you wish to portray. I love religious art, I love visiting cathedrals and castles. The only thing I would say is wrong is to have pictures of God. Anything we could draw or paint to portray God is finite whereas God is infinite hence what we draw limits God and is therefore wrong.
Every Lord's day I walk under stained glass of Josiah and Hezekiah but then have to kneel at the altar behind which is a statue of Christ at the last supper....not what I would have there.
