Description
Thank you for viewing my original art. ©Xueling Zou -
I interpreted an ancient mosaic piece into this icon to express the beauty from a certain period time in history.
The icon I copied really is one of Ravenna's splendid mosaics. I love being creative, so I named it as 'St Patricia', because the dark color hair, long nose, big eyes and the sharp chin look just like my mother-in-law, who is half Italian, but her eyes are green, so I changed the color of eyes to green instead of brown. She is a very devoted Catholic who goes to pray in church everyday, and at home too. Also, she is very good artist as well, she has painted so many icons to give to churches and the people she knows.
