hi Gabriela, many thanks for you several kind comments to my recent pics! i love icons too, i have many books on this subject and i love the way they depict the perspective, the minutely detailed figures, the precision of design, their always original and delightful balance and their splendour of colouring, i dont know anything about those from Bucovina, i will search for them in the net. thanks for the hint and all the best!
THIS IS VERY BEAUTIFUL!!! I love icons and all sorts of religious paintings, they are so different from what we call painting. I wonder if you heard about the painted monastries in the northern part of Moldova (Romania), which is know as Bucovina (?)You'd really get busy there!!! Gabriela
