Commissioning of an Icon

A beautiful hand-painted icon has to be cared for just like a precious treasure. Icon painting commissions can be a gift for a beloved family member, a godchild , or a dear friend and can honor a lesser-known saint or one that is meaningful to you. The professional artists say that an icon can be painted to commemorate a sacramental stage in life such as a baptism, first Holy Communion, confirmation, wedding or ordination. It can be a great honor for a significant anniversary. It is a healing bliss to your comfort zone.

You have to combine the occasion that motivates you to have an icon in your abode and office. The whole process starts with your idea. Our team discusses what the icon is for whether it is for personal or group devotion. Where will you be placing the icon? This helps us to educate you about the ideal size and composition. Our client feels easiness in matching its budget with the bliss figure. Looking at both the Jesus pant crater and the Merton icons; you can feel that icons are windows to the divinized reality.

 Icon painting commissions is a slow and messy process involving three days work as the boards are primed, gessoes, and sanded. Deep prayer is done in completing all steps of drawing and etc. The result is that the finished Icon is more beautiful and relevant to the people praying!
