Hi Ruud

Very nice and interesting theme. To see an icon painter in action it's not so easy. Well composed. I like the lighting. Nice work.

WOW! What a talent! Great catch! I like the multi colors in this photo!

Hi Ruud,
This is a good composed and colorful portrait! I am astonished by the youth of this monk. Bravo! Annie

Hi Ruud,

Very nice photo!!! I like the POV that has a small tilt. Makes it look very dynamic, like you were fallowing the monk's brush. :)
Great vivid colours and lighting!
Very well done!

Prachtige foto, Ruud. Iconen voor toeristen, he ?

Thanks Ruud for putting this post up. This is a keeper in my favorites. You captured the intense concentration of the artist while he is following the age-old tradition prescribed that still practices early gothic religious art. Icons are not just paintings, but are imbued with the spirit of the saint so depicted when the proper rituals and rules are followed by the painter. Very 'Mystical'
Cheers

Hi Ruud,
Very nice capture of this painter. I like this tilted composition that is very dynamic and make us see more of him and his icon. I like how we can see him working with a lot of precision. Very well done.

Very good done to share it Ruud and thanks for it.

Hi Ruud,
I missed this one, it's wonderful and so interesting. I also would like to see him painting with my own eyes, I like this paintings so much, also have made one some years ago, it wasn't easy.
Thanks and bye
