St. Courtney, Our Lady of the Baked Goods and Sweet Moves

Acrylic on Pine
2009

Backtracking a bit, here is the birthday present I made for my BFF/roomate, Courtney. Because she is a saintly friend, I decided to take it upon myself to canonize her with this Icon painting. I tried to capture the traditional Byzantine stylization of Icon paintings, being a mixture of classical modeling and medieval complete disregard of naturalization. Being a broke ho', I didn't bother trying to obtain any goldleaf. That's a acrylic gold background. Don't tell Courtney.
