St. Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscans.
Did you know his nickname was "Il Poverello" or The Poor little Man.
.
I've always seen him as generous and warm man, and I can imagine him being lively and extroverted. Someone you'd like to be friends with.

A study of a statue of Saint Francis of Assisi that caught me. I tried an oil painting brush for this, and I used only 3 values.

September 17 - St. Francis of Assisi
Our portrait icon of Saint Francis depicts the saint with the two symbols that most characterize his life: the cross of sacrifice and the dove of divine peace. These icons of this well-loved saint are based upon an icon painted by a contemporary of St. Francis.
Both are available at MonasteryIcons.com.
