I began learning the sacred art of iconography today. this is based on the first stages of a russian icon paintinghttp://www.conceptart.org/artist/andrew-jones/images/aug3icon.jpg

yes what he said. would you mind elaborating on or if you just know of a webpage or book explaining iconography so we could better understand what you are trying to get across in this sp.

wow interesting change of pace this one is very smooth, almost...dare I say it feminin. it is refreshing to see that you continue to try new things and explore new areas of art.
I especialy like the hair...the curling ends make it look like a idealized greek hero, or somthing like that. Awesome as always:D

I will share the completed icon when it if finished, i am burnishing the gold leaf of the halo today. they take a minimum of forty hours each. they involve a great deal of time, concentration, meditation, patience and prayer to complete sucesfully. so I wouldant expect to post it any time soon, but I do expect the experience influence the rest of my work.
there are two main schools iconography russsian and greek, from a visual stand point I do prefer the greek style.
