Romanian Nun

Here is a close up of my Icon. Yes this picture was also suppossed to go under the one posted below.
This is a picture of a Romanian Nun who is a hermit and spends her days, everyday from morning to night creating Icons in the traditional icon style. The icon style has strict rules in order to be considered an icon so the work is tedious.

This is a picture of her with the Icon I commissioned for my own collection. It is of Jesus dying on the cross.
