    I've been interested in Iconography for most of my life and a few years ago I decided to try my hand at it.
    These obviously aren't proper, written Icons, but they are made with mostly traditional materials ( boards, gesso, gold leaf). These are a few I've done in the past (oldest to newest) and I'm working on more that I may share later.

    Nicely done and unique to the genre.
    Roughly what size are your paintings?

    Thank you. The first two are 5" x 7" and the one of Christ is 8" x 10". I've also done several that are 7" x 9".

    These are very nice! I wish I had that kind of talent.

    I finished this one today and thought it would be especially appropriate to share it here. Our Lady of Walsingham was the subject of my first painting in this series, but I was never happy with it so I had to try again.

    I finished this icon of St. George today. It was my first commissioned icon.

    I’ll bet that really hurt.
