The icon of Our Lady of Longmeadow that I just completed. It was written at Clare Priory, Suffolk, UK and in Santa Venera, Malta, in 2014 under the supervision of Fr. Richard G. Cannuli Dimensions are 11″ x 14″.
Materials included linen-covered wood with natural gesso, 23.5 kt gold leaf burnished by hand, natural egg tempera in the Russian-Byzantine tradition, varnished with olifa upon completion.
The icon will be blessed and installed in its intended home at Saint Mary’s Parish Church, Longmeadow, MA later next month.
