Description

This is St Nicholas Icon. St Nicholas is -among many things- patron of sailors and a  navigator. He is meant to protect sailors and drive everybody back safe to our seas, the Aegean and its biggest island Crete!

The icon is painted with eggtempera after the traditional representation of St Nicholas

The materials I used for the piece are the following:

• I made the painting with eggtempera on old piece of driftwoodfound on the shore
• I ve gessoed just the parts where the figures and left the wooden board obvious
• Eggtempera and copper gold have covered the surface
• While shellac and varnish have sealed the colors to produce an artifact that will last

St Nicholas icon comes wrapped as a gift in its own hand made bag with some mini extras
