Continuing the Journey

Hi All, my 2nd and more formal Iconology class started Monday. Dimitri, the Russian instructor, is easy to take instruction from. When he looks at your icon, at least for mine, he always says-"I have some good news and some bad news."

I have included a progression of my work from "outline and halo of gold on top of clay" to "letting the light come forth". Iconology involves more than writing an icon. It is not just about how good it is but what the icon is saying and how it might draw one in artistically and spiritually. I'm also including a picture of part of the church..
