GUARDIAN ANGEL, done in egg tempera, natural earth pigments and 24K gold leaf, at St. Mary's Orthodox Cathedral school for iconography, NE Minneapolis, MN in October 2013. The board is solid ash? imported from Russia measuring ca. 13" x 10" x 1 1/8" routed out and coated with marble dust gesso. My instructor was Dimitri Andriev. Est. time to write this icon is ca. 55 hours. To get an idea of the price, call up your plumber or electrician and ask them how much a job lasting 55 hours will cost, then add ca. $200 for "parts" (gold, pigments, board, etc.) :-) Then, call me or send me an email and we'll discuss terms - remember we have to allow for drying time so the total time from order to delivery is about six weeks.

This icon of PENTECOST is quite large, ca. 25 x 11x .75 inches! It has 33 figures; with Mary the Theotokos in the center, flanked by Mary Magdalene and Peter and dozens of disciples clustered around. Done in 23.5K genuine gold leaf and acrylic paints and inks. A similar hand written icon can be yours for $2,500.00 whereas prints are available from $50.00 up to $300.00 depending on size. Prints can be gilded with gold leaf for an additional charge. Hopefully you can zoom in on this photo, but if not, let me know and I'll give you another link that will blow your socks off! :-)
