Website Update

I have recently begun updating my website with some recent work, like the one pictured in the previous post. It also has new work that is currently available. All of the newer stuff is in oils. I do not have any new icons available at this time. But....

This summer at synod I'll be selling a number of NEW icons that I currently have in production, including:

Christ Pantocrator
Our Lady of Walsingham
St. James the Greater
St. Katherine of Alexandria
St. Nicholas
The Dormition of the Virgin
The Harrowing of Hell
The Raising of Lazarus
The Transfiguration

These are all new compositions. Namely, they are copied from icons that I have never copied before, or themes that I have never painted before.

In addition to these I will have new versions of some of the standard themes that I have done in the past:

St. George Slaying the Dragon (in a few different forms)
Christ Pantocrator
Crucifixion (various forms)
Descent from the Cross
Virgin Eleousa
Mother of Compassion
Virgin Hogiditria
and more...

As with all of my other icons, these are written in the traditional manner using traditional materials and techniques. These will be available in all sorts of sizes, so there will something that will fit into everyone's budget!

A Tale of Two Cathedrals

My wife and I just returned from vacation. While away, we got to visit the Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Baltimore, which had recently undergone a huge renovation. The last time I was there was to see the famous "Timla Relic" a few years ago. Unlike some horrific church renovations that have gone on in recent years that were supposedly meant to "update" the church, this restoration was meant to "return" the interior of the building to its original Federal-period design. And I must say that it a very tasteful renovation. They did a really good job. It looks almost like an old early Episcopal church - white washed interior, minimal designs, etc. The interior is now very bright because they removed the stained glass (dark blue Willet windows), and uncovered the original skylights in the dome. They kept all of the good stuff (the high altar, altar rails, etc.), and brought some cool old stuff back (e.g. the nation's first RC epi...

New Directions

I have really been enjoying getting back into landscape painting. It is a quite a challenge for someone who has for so long painted in a rigid, geometric style. I've been doing a bunch a small studies in oil on canvas board to get back into practice. I've also been experimenting with landscape in egg tempera and doing some work that I think is good. Once again edge tempera proves itself to be a versatile and beautiful medium... no wonder Wyeth used it so much! The goal is to do a number of small egg tempera landscapes, and some in watercolor as I did about 12 years ago, and then to do some larger landscape paintings in oil on canvas. For some reason when I paint in oil I need to work larger. I am still working on my older stuff. Just recently I completed a very small icon commission of the Virgin and Child (picture below - sorry for the glare in the photo), and I am currently working on a largish icon of the Descent of Christ from the Cross. The Sunday school kids are fas...
