Basil is leading the movement to have Leonty recognized as a saint so I have been told that I might soon need to add a halo to the icon and change his title to saint. This icon is 18x24.

Yes, please do show us how far you have progressed on St. Nicholas!

This is an icon of Christ in Glory that I painted for a show at St. Vincent College last year. It's always been one of my favorite images, and it was nice to paint it in a large enough size to see what I was painting.

I was blessed to make a very short day trip to Aegina a few years back. It was an amazing experience to be in the presence of St. Nektarios if only for a few minutes.

What size is it?
