  Virgin of Tenderness
Egg tempera and gold leaf
 
     
 

Suzanne Schleck


It is possible to paint an icon of Christ and the saints as a result of the Incarnation, so in many ways an icon of Christ and the Mother of God is the "Ur" icon. I am particularly fond of the icons of tenderness because they not only show a mother's tenderness towards her child, but also as the child touches His mother, they show the Creator's tenderness towards His Creation.
 

 
Over 18 years of painting, I have painted more of the Virgin and child than of any other type.
