Since the spring of 2022, I've been working on a double commission for the altar of Saint Andrew the Apostle Parish in Norton, Ohio. The first painting, completed in the fall of 2022, was the "Calling of St. Andrew." The second painting "The Martyrdom of St. Andrew" was finished around Easter 2023. In early July, I had a week to create two custom frames I built for each painting. After a 300 mile drive, and with the help of my son, Alexei we installed both paintings at the parish. It was a tremendous opportunity and the response has been fantastic.
