    I love the fact that each face is different!

  • Anni Morris replied

    I think there are 30 nuns on here! Yes, tried to vary the expressions a bit. It is a small canvas so I couldn’t put much detail in…was using a 000 brush. Cheers :)

    Wow, not only you have talent, but also a great sense of humor and a free spirit. Good for the soul. And good for you.

  • Anni Morris replied

    Where would we all be without a sense of humour? It’s an essential. Hey, thanks for the comment.

  • Jazzyjane

    Jazzyjane

    Really whimsical and clever. I love the different expressions on the faces of the nuns. A few look resigned som bored and others bland. I wonder why? The one to the right of ‘bad’ looks very disapproving (by design or default?). I love this.

  • Anni Morris replied

    Thanks Jane. Yes, I wanted each nun to look different and yes, the one next to the ‘bad habit’ was meant to look disapproving. My daughter thought one of the nuns looked like a man :) There are 30 nuns altogether. Cheers ~ Anni

  • Frank Bowman

    Frank Bowman

    Where did You get this idea? .... the nuns’ faces are so real …. I know I nhave seen too many of them …. :) ... well done!

  • Anni Morris replied

    Hi Frank, I got this idea from my imagination, I have painted nuns before, normally doing obscure things. I’ve had them flying over a church and graveyard, also skateboarding down a steep hill…I am currently doing some sketches for their next antics…which will be very funny. The nuns faces here are quite small, I did want them to look individual…and not ‘mass produced’. Thanks for your comments. ~ Anni

  • Anni Morris replied

    Thanks Barry…yes there were lots of expressions to paint on this small painting…some most disapproving.

  • Faith Puleston

    Faith Puleston

    I don’t know what it’s like now, but women didn’t all used to become nuns for altruistic reasons! Love this humorous comment on a way of life I could not endure. Mind you, I’d probably catch a cold with a plunge neckline like your charming misfit!

  • Anni Morris replied

    Hi faithart…yup…I think this blond doesn’t feel the cold much :) I really appreciate you taking the time to comment.

  • Arletta

    Arletta

    Reminds me of a photograph taken of me (actually a series, but mainly one is remembered by me) , in a seductive pose, stretched across a Harley, wearing a nun’s habit that was arranged strategically to show off the stockings and garter belt, blowing smoke from my cigarette up and out. And below it were the words ‘Smoking is a bad habit.’

    I like painting nuns, too, but they don’t always like having to use paint thinner to get clean afterward.

    No, really, I did a charcoal drawing of a nun from the cleavage down to the .. cleavage .. one time, with the cross dangling in between. I was hard put to make her look like a nun, but, it worked. Then, later, I made an acrylic painting of what turned out to be a nun in hell. I’m not even sure how it turned out that way lol But, every now and again, I break out into a fit of nun painting, myself, and I enjoy seeing your nun paintings.

    This is very cute.
