Icons for St. Anthony's Dome, Part 11

Work continues on the iconography in St. Anthony the Great Antiochian Church, San Diego. There are more cups of pre-mixed colors than before, as many parts of the images are being touched up and little changes are being made around the dome.

A few years ago I saw some cast brass images for sale on eBay. Being completely unable to resist unique works of art, I bought them. Each of these is nearly 2 feet tall and weighs 25 pounds. They came from a church in Holland that was being demolished.

You can see these are the 4 symbols used to represent the 4 evangelists. 

Hopefully, in the next post you will see that these figures have been completed, but it's interesting to observe even at this intermediate stage that the personalities and expressions have already appeared.

Here are some final views of Elijah
