Crite as a devout [[Episcopalian]], focused many of his paintings on religious themes.

Crite also created books in which he illustrated religious stories from black spirituals including "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord", "Three Spirituals from Earth to Heaven", "Swing Low Sweet Chariot", "Heaven" and "Nobody knows the trouble I see".

"The figures in Crite’s work are individualized in appearance and clothing. An emphasis on fine detail is in part a manifestation of Crite’s ongoing study of the detailed paintings found in Flemish Late Gothic art. Variations in brushwork, along with rich colors, animate the surface of Crite’s paintings." <ref>[http://www.phillipscollection.org/american_art/bios/crite-bio.htm Biography]</ref>
