This is so cool!
Carmen Cilliers
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 :)

Anni Morris
Thanks everyone for such positive comments. I know what these nuns will be doing in my next painting…but I’m not letting on, you’ll just have to watch this space ;) Cheers ~ Anni
Vasile Stan
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
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
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
Lior Goldenberg
Splendid work, very creative!
Anni Morris replied
Thanks Lior :) You have that beautiful “Irresistable” tabby don’t you? I remember commenting on him/her.

Brings a smile Anni, and I love all the expressions.
Anni Morris replied
Thanks Barry…yes there were lots of expressions to paint on this small painting…some most disapproving.
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
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.
Anni Morris
Interesting reading Arletta, I expect those works generated a fair amount of interest ;) Thanks for viewing and commenting ~ Anni

If I made you chuck;e Linda it wasd worth painting :) ~ Anni
Orla Cahill
That is sooo funny Anni. LOL! – ‘Tart Among The Penguins’ – but who knows what those penguins are hiding from under those habits. Maybe the ‘lady in red’ is the purest of them all. Excellent creative work Anni. You have such wonderful wit in your art. It’s great! A major fav. for me. :)
Anni Morris replied
Hello Orla, Yes… “don’t judge a book by its cover.” Things are NOT what they sometimes seem. Thanks for your supportive comments ~ Anni :)
