Story and Process:

This is my “Pater Noster 3.0” - the third iteration of my scribing of this prayer. The first was completed in 2017, and the second in January of 2019. While both are beautiful, I always felt that they could be significantly improved with more time and practice.

In January 2020, I began working on this piece using higher quality paints, more traditional and embellished illumination, and genuine 23.75k gold leaf. Approximately 20 hours of work resulted in the piece you see in the pictures above, a gloriously vibrant rendition of the prayer given to us by the Lord Himself.
