XAHC u святой Николай

(Hans and Saint Nicholas)

4 November 2012 Sketches
I managed to make a panel from the wolmanized wood, and this is to become the icon board.
The icon on the postcard is called Saint Nicolas of the Door
He is supposed to be the patron of domestic bliss

XAHC would be the cyrillic transcription of my given name, matching the average Russian pronunciation of it.
