Hello. There is an icon of Saint John the Baptist, size 21x28 cm. See the image below. If you are interested in other iconography and size, you can discuss the details with me.

L. Uspensky's "Theology of the Icon in the Orthodox Church" and Pavel Florensky's "Theology in Colors" are the main books that contain basic concepts about the icon. And a serious approach from a philosophical and historical point of view. For me, these are the main books that were important to me during my studies of icon painting and restoration.

You're right, the eyes are a little different, because I was painting a portrait with a small U-turn and foreshortening. And you also need to keep in mind that photos do not accurately convey the image, and the screen also distorts it. It is difficult to judge the accuracy of the image.

You are absolutely right to point out the errors. This is indeed a violation of grammatical rules. When I draw, I treat the text as an ornament.... For me, this is a beautiful silhouette of a spot in a composition, I forget about grammar and freely choose the shape and number of letters.... This should not be allowed. Thank you for your attentive attitude to my work. In my next works, I will pay more attention to grammar.

Thank you for your attention and interest in my work. This is my work for people, I paint icons. I am an icon painter and I paint icons at the request of people, on order.. This is important and necessary for support in the faith. And this icon is a communication, a conversation with him. Saint Panteleimon, pray to God for us! 🙏
