OL of the Burning Bush, Sinai (detail)
The Holy Virgin panel was prepared and gilded over 20 years ago. I misplaced it and was happy to discover the ground I used seeped through the real gold leaf I used to create the patina you see. The image had already been inscribed in the traditional manner and so all I did was paint the Madonna in the Sinai style.
