	Artisan: Happy to, Praveen, thank you for asking! The Eastern Church defines an "icon" as a representation of some sacred personage, as Christ or a saint or angel, painted usually on a wood surface and venerated itself as sacred while the basic definition is simply a sign or representation that stands for its object by virtue of a resemblance or analogy to it. For me, nature, has always has been iconic of a presence greater than mankind. I wanted to pay tribute to the abundant miracles living around us all that have guided towards the human being I have become. An ethereal "self portrait" if you will...thank you for inviting me to share this. Diane Posted May 19, 2008 5:10pm
	Jasna: One of ways to experience God's presence is certainly nature.But that is just maybe one of the first steps.Icons and iconography as well as whole spiritual life are great secrets.'Holly Secrets'.It is very wast subject, and there are great books on Icons.You might wish to reed some, if you already haven't. However, in God's eyes,man is the crown of His creation , since he is made to his image.Holly Fathers are explaining that freedom(of choice, free will) is that likeness.Without that, love is not possible,and God is Love. You inspired me to share this, with your nice work and your statement.Hope you don't mind.Regards. Posted Jun 9, 2008 7:49pm
