Here is the sienna drawing. Basic bust icons for the most part (not always) are just the figure only. Next step it the gold leaf, which will be in the halo only.

Truly, if the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father is perfect, then that from the Son is superfluous.

Here is the image finalized before painting. The gold leaf has been applied to the halo and burnished to get that "Sinai" look. More to come soon...

Truly lovely, and the paint hasn't even been applied yet!

The icon of St. Xenia is awesome.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
Re: St. Xenia of Kalamata, the forgotten saint
Dear Fr. Photios, have you any updated photos of the finished icon? I would love to see it in all its beauty.

Sadly, no. I have been so busy working on a few other icon deadlines that I only got about one more step ahead of the last picture of St. Xenia. I will be working on her soon, God willing.
You can always check out my flickr site to see more recent works.

First layers. There will be adjustments later. As I paint I see things I want to adjust. The color changes the shape and size of things, giving a clearer view of what might be off a bit in the drawing.
