St. John at Patmos

Blue Icon: St. John at Patmos (2005) (8" x 10")

collage and acrylic on canvas board

I created several "icons" in this style. This one pictures the aging Apostle Paul in exile on the Island of Patmos, where he wrote the Book of Revelation. The image I used for John is one of Ezra Pound, the American visionary poet who lived part of his life in exile in Italy.
