The first picture is the Nativity, in progress. The mountains are beautiful, aren't they?
The second picture is of Christ the Teacher. The face is about half way finished. It as if the image is rising from a still body of water. Breathtaking process, really.
The third picture is of Christ the Good Shepherd. Aren't the robes vibrant? And this icon is the first one for this student.
The fourth photo is the icon I am working on. Any guesses yet what this icon depicts? No fair answering if you are in the class ;)
The fifth picture is The Nursing Mother of God. The robe work is just begun, and coming along very nicely.
And the last icon is also a first for this student. It is Tender Kissing, and again, the robe work is coming along beautifully.
Due to bad weather, the class has been a little slow, but we'll just keep going once a week until we are finished.
Thanks for stopping by, and you can leave comments here if you wish.

Since this is the closest I'll ever get to joining you on a course, I am always delighted to get a glimpse into the wonderful things that are happening in your corner of the world :-)
Wow, it's all so beautiful! Thank you for the print of your icon of our Lady. she is breathtaking, and I will place the card on my prayer shelf.
