Icons for St. Anthony's Dome, Part 07

We discovered dramatic color as we entered the church today. The framing of the pendentives was in place.


A new medallion of Christ was drying in the back room. 


The Old Testament saints were set in the sunlight so the color and shading could be compared and touched up. 


In the meantime, painting was going on in the pendentives. The four evangelists were sketched out in paint, by eye, in five minutes or less. Here's the Saint on the left coming into focus. 


The second Saint appears on the right side within minutes. 


Here's a closeup of David. 


Soon we expect to see the top level of scaffolding removed, and these Saints on the ceiling rather than the floor.
