Didn't at first because it was so very far from the original, but our Iconographer says a bit of ourselves goes into each Icon so maybe my interpretation is not as bad as I thought.<br />One thing I do know for sure is that following formulae is really not my forte.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948117492116997244.post-54255439540871403022013-01-25T10:02:32.118+00:002013-01-25T10:02:32.118+00:00Sounds very interesting....I'd come if I lived...Sounds very interesting....I'd come if I lived closer.

Very involved and complicated and time-consuming but quite unlike any other form of 'painting'.<br />Apparently it is quite common for very different faces to emerge from a common starting point.<br />It is prayer led and has a meditative content too.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948117492116997244.post-75294040717334520922013-01-23T20:33:15.619+00:002013-01-23T20:33:15.619+00:00What a fascinating idea to have the opportunity to...What a fascinating idea to have the opportunity to try out some iconography. As far as I understand, icons were "taught" to pupils with strict conventions and regard to copying. Just like you were doing. Amazing results.

I haven't signed up for this Spring term as the evenings are very cold and dark and I don't much like going out at this time of year, but I may tackle the Summer term.
