Took an icon workshop this week with @whirledgeicons Today was the last day but icon still needs some work. We are privileged to have an iconographer as amazing as Brian!
 

Finished Painting Commission


 The colors are horrible, but this is an idea. It is definitely not as reddish as this in person, 12x16!

Update On Marian Statue

 



So I just wanted to update everyone on the statue of Our Lady and Jesus in its completed form. It was a pleasure to do it!



Statue Repair


The following photos are of a statue repair I am doing which includes sanding and repairing of cracks as best as possible, and some repainting. Statue is definitely an antique, but not sure how old it is exactly. It is carved wood, with a plaster overlay. Over the years the plaster has cracked, and it had been repaired in the past, with several coats of tempura paint. Hopefully, sanding and the use of a quality acrylic paint will seal this better, along with a final matte finish clear acrylic coating. Statue is about 2 1/2 feet in height.
