As I mentioned, negotiating with the thief, I was able to regain memory card of digital camera. I am therefore proposing to recover some pictures of my work by drawing golden.

It is now clear, the icon that I went to paint in Boa Vista Virgin is a : the choice of model has been quite free, because I did not have a specific request. I had to paint "just" the image of Our Lady of Good Hope , without a reference or idea. I have therefore given to the Providence and I chose as a model icon of the Virgin Pimenovskaja .

The history of this country is very special: a little before my first trip to Cape Verde - between June and July this year, already in the hands of the trip flights from Frankfurt - leave the site iconecristiane . it the link of ' Ikonen Museum der Stadt Frankfurt (in German).
