Here's a snapshot of my latest icon, which represents the union of my home church, Holy Family in Ovid, MI, with St. Isidore's in nearby Laingsburg. The holy family is pictured along with St. Isidore. I made he figures to resemble statues from the sanctuary at Holy Family Church, and an icon of St. Isidore on the wall at St. Isidore's Church. I'll be showing the picture after mass es this weekend at Holy Family, and then at St. Isidore's next weekend, with art prints for sale and half of the proceeds going to the parish. I would like to do similar evnts for other parishes in the future--a special icon related to a parish event or development, or simply an icon of the parish's name saint individualized for a particular church.
