Day 2 at the Chapel of Notre Dame de la Clarte, la Hougue Bie. I literally each day I climb the mound to the chapel at La Hougue Bie and I have begun to symbolically climb the mountain of the Transfiguration by building up the paint layers. Dark base colours first then each day lighter and lighter colours will be placed on the icon. |
