When a Saint doesn't want gold on their icon they will let you know in no uncertain terms! I was commissioned to paint an icon of St Maria Skobtsova with a full gold background. But when I tried to gild it the gold size would not behave properly. I tried three times. Every time when I reached the halo it would suddenly become thick and unworkable. Every time my container of size would tip over and spill everywhere. Finally after the third attempt the container of white spirit spilled everywhere! You can't argue with a saint so now I'm sanding off the shellac to paint the background and halo! #stmariaofparis #stmariaskobskova #iconography #byzantineiconography #byzantineicon #iconpainting #orthodoxchristian #orthodoxchurch #easternorthodox #orthodoxicon #iconographer #eikonourgia #christianart #αγιογραφία #икона #иконопись https://www.instagram.com/p/CGKD70epoVa/?igshid=1kfli52gnxxyx

Since St Maria doesnt want a gold background and halo, she'll have red for the blood of the Martyrs. I feel that it is not by chance that I am painting a Saint who was killed by the Nazis at the time when the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party here in Greece has been found guilty of murder and declared a criminal organization. St Maria pray for us! #stmariaskobskova #stmariaofparis #iconography #byzantineiconography #byzantineicon #orthodoxchristian #orthodoxchurch #easternorthodox #orthodoxicon #iconpainting #eikonourgia #eggtempera #tetrachrome #limitedpalette #orthodoxsaints #christianart #juliapaintssaints👩‍🎨🎨😇 https://www.instagram.com/p/CGVE65ApeCI/?igshid=1nhxjmv68ji20
