Two St. Nikolas at once.

I started to make two St. Nikolas at once: one ( left) for my brother Andrew, the other one for me.
I prepared these panels in my husband’s wood shop by myself! Then I put 8 layers the gesso, then I transferred the representation of face on icon, image.
Tomorrow I’ll start GILDING the halo (nimbus) with 23 K. Gold leafs.
