Baptism of Christ Panel

I’ve just finished a hanging for a parish in Williamsburg.  Size is about 8-1/2 feet by almost 6 feet, oil on Canvas.  Here are some in-progress images of it.

Christ with Disciples after Resurrection

Here are a set of images from a couple years ago that are some details of the icon of Christ meeting some of his disciples by the sea from John Chapter 21.  This is the scene where St. Peter, understanding that it Jesus, jumps into the water to hurry to shore to see him.  The other disciples are in the boat pulling in the huge haul of fish.  I apologize for the copyright on the image, but I have found work pirated all over, so it has to be done.

Virgin and Child Icon

I’ve been working on this for a few months, and now it’s done.  I’m posting just four images, but there are actually many steps in-between each step that I have here.  This is my variation of the traditional Eleusa icon (Virgin of Tenderness) – in this version the infant Christ is also looking at the viewer.  I’ve also used a combination of egg tempera and oils, because I find I can get very rich colors that way, but I also like the texture of the egg tempera in the base.
