Here's an icon of St. John of Damascus based on a prototype from Corfu that I just love. The icon is about 4.5 feet tall and will be in my living room until someone pries it from my metaphorical cold, dead hand:

The color in the upper corners is actually the background of my website, and is not part of the icon, just in case anyone was wondering.

What size is it?

I don't remember for sure, and I sold it a while ago, so I can't measure it, but I believe it was about 22 inches tall.

And finally, since Michael mentioned St. Andrei Rublev, I thought I would post a picture of an icon of him (St. Andrei, not Michael) that I painted a couple months ago:

Is that the one I bought from you last spring?

No it was one that I painted for a lady at my church. She saw the one that you bought when I had it in the show at St. Vincent last december and wanted a smaller one to give to her husband as a birthday present because his birthday is St. Andrei's feast day. So imagine the one you bought shrunk down to about 10 inches tall, and that's what it was....

This is an icon I recently did of the Inexhaustible Cup. 30x40cm

The Inexhaustible Cup is my LEAST favorite icon to write. Fr. Patrick gave me the "holy labor" to write one and pray the akathist while writing it about 10 years ago. He gave me this to help me deal with some very bad relationships I had had when I was young. The icon turned out horriblly and I was under great stress while praying and writing it. But I guess the prayers worked because she definitely heard and answered the prayers!

That's the one that's included in the new Bible you were telling us about?

I will start a separate one of those.

Hey Mike, I have a request -- post your icon of Theotokos: Tenderness. I have it here at home and it's one of my favorite icons.

A request for Matthew too -- your icon of The Church as displayed as an Ark.
