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.

A lot of miraculous icons are like that, lost and rediscovered.
What if ...
I like the Madonna.
Hi Terry
Just wondering if we are able to use a photo of Matt Talbot in our free newspaper the Catholic Standard. We go to print in a few days and it would be great to hear from you. Kind Regards, Cherie
