Captivating
I am so happy with this icon! This is my 2nd Masterpiece icon. The detail of this icon is stunning. The depth of expression in her face and eyes, her contemplative countenance invites me to prayer each morning. The detail of the Christ child and His how of love for our Theotokos is a reminder of how much He loves us. Beautifully done! Thank you!
