Glory to Jesus Christ! Slava Iisusu Christu! Yesterday, I installed my latest (and, thus far, largest) iconographic project, done for the Russian Orthodox Church of Our Lady in Philadelphia. I uploaded some photos of it to this website: http://www.holytrinitypoconos.org/dmicons/ Once there, click on "Philadelphia Project." I just thought I'd share with the members of our Forum.  Dave

Dave,
Lovely. I only realized that the curtains were part of the project after I went back and re-read the text; they were so realistic, I was certain they were hanging there.
Does this mean that, next time I visit the store, there will be icons available for purchase that were written by you?
Many years,
Neil

Hi Neil, The store [ holytrinitypoconos.org] (or, more properly, my priest in the name of the store) asked for an icon or two to put on display. However, actual commissions always take precedence over pieces for spec, and I've got quite a few icon orders that were put on the back burner while I completed this large project. Small icons can be done during the semester in my room; 8 foot panels are a bit harder to manage.  On your next visit, you will see several "new" items since your last stop, including various items from Mount Athos, and bronze icons and incense from Chevetogne in Belgium, just to name a few. Dave

mark I think a very fair description Mark - I have always loved the term 'Gob -Smacked' - it's very picturesque.
