Icon of Jesus, 11"x 14", prismacolor on illustration board. Something I am interested in is Orthodox icons. I've been involved in a few icon painting (writing) workshops with a local iconographer, Mother Katherine, who is a Nun associated with the Joy of All Who Sorrow Orthodox Church in Indianapolis. She does some fantastic work with the traditional medium of egg tempera. Since I enjoy working with prismacolor color pencil, I decided to paint (write) an icon in that medium. Interestingly enough (to me at least) some of the earliest icons were done with wax and pigment, which is essentially what prismacolor color pencils are.
