She Loves Me
Acrylic and impasto on flat canvas board.
Original has been sold.
I had a dream not so long ago where someone showed me a photo of an image of the Holy Mother and that someone went on to be shocked that She looked just like me. In my dream I responded with resignation and complete surrender to the Holy Mother as I said “because She is in me and I am in Her”.
I felt an entirely new love for the Holy Mother after this dream. I’ve had many, many spiritual dreams and each and every one are worth more to me than all the riches of the world. This is one such dream that I wanted to share.
I love Her and She loves me…and She loves all God’s children :o)

Rowan Plantag...
Oh this is so utterly beautiful, Tahnja!
Amazing!
Tahnja replied
Hello lovely lady!!!! She has my heart that’s for sure along with Her beloved Son. I am so glad you like this, I sank my heartbeat into this image
Hidemi Tada
yes, you are like holy mother. when i paint her next time, i will keep your image. this is great work Tahnja!!!!so Beautiful!!!!!
Tahnja replied
Goodness me Hidemi you are so very kind and hearing you say that makes my skin tingle. I love Her and I feel Her with me just as She is with all those who love Her but that dream connected me to Her in a deep and most profound way. I would never ever have thought such a thing but in my dream it was as though I could not avoid it which is why I felt resigned to the fact.
I would be more than honoured and profoundly moved to see you use an image of me to paint the Holy Mother…sends more chills up my spine :O)
Rowan Plantag...
And this can be felt when looking at it.
It’s pure love, dear Tahnja.

It makes a pleasant change for something devotional to appear. This is a beautiful reminder of the fact that there is more to life than petty back-stabbing, materialism, and the constant anti-religious bombardment by the dull and ignorant. Well done!
Tahnja replied
Wow, thank you for such a heart felt comment. I live almost a recluse these days apart from my wonderful part time job working with racehorses for the very reasons you mentioned. I simply can no longer stomach the rampant selfishness and materialism of the world, it turns my stomach where as I’m normally a very strong person.
I really appreciate your comment. It makes me feel even more grateful that others share such a love for all that is good and all that if God. Bless you and may God be with you always

Lovely.
Tahnja replied
Thank you very much for stopping by to appreciate this, it means a lot
MoonSpiral
Wow Tahnja. You really captured the power of your dream in this. I really can’t find the words to describe this, but I can feel the intensity of your love and feel reverent!
Tahnja replied
Hi lovely Tammy. So wonderful to have you stop by my friend and what a beautiful comment. And this painting is just another example of that something special that seems to happen when I paint those in heaven that I love so much. It just happens, it’s not through any intent of mine but there is something so vastly different that happens when I paint spiritual and religious works. It even makes me step back in awe because until I’ve finished the piece I am unaware of the blessing that seems to take place.
I am deeply moved that you can ‘feel’ this painting, that means the absolute world to me. May She watch over you and love you dear friend
LeilaniMelayna
It is delightfully inspiring & heartfelt!

Sorry, I seem to have missed your comment. Thank you so much for sharing your support, very much appreciated
Lynette K.
Oh she is absolutely wonderful hon. From the pencil sketch to this…wonderful.
Tahnja replied
I actually did two separate ones. I sent the sketch to a very special friend of mine who loves the Holy Mother even more than I do. He will be so stunned when he received his little gift.
And then I was so taken with the sketch I did that I decided to paint it. Funny thing is, I was disappointed as the next sketch wasn’t as good but when I painted it, wow, that something special happened again….takes my breath away it does.
Thank you dear friend. I have uploaded a larger version as I loaded a small one last night when I finished it because I couldn’t wait to share lol
ZoeMcduncan
Beautiful painting, she almost glows
Tahnja replied
Nice to meet you Zoe and thank you, she does indeed almost glow with that heavenly illumination…happened all in it’s own I can tell you that :o)
catherine walker
so beautiful tahnja..she has a real mystical light all around her and she looks very holy It’s not all that easy to get that kind of feeling into a painting and you’ve succeeded with this ..so well done!!
Tahnja replied
Hi darling lady. I must say that these things happen all on their own and I simply become the vessel for paintings like this. I have no way to explain that something very special that happens when I paint religious works. There’s no doubt that the love I have for my subjects is used to the fullest lol.
Nancy Vice
absolutely beautiful work!!
Tahnja replied
Hi Nancy, She did indeed turn out very well and I am much inspired by Her image. God bless you my friend
Renate Dartois

What an amazing dream, and matched with a beautiful image – you have such a gift, it’s good to see you using it so well :)
Tahnja replied
Hello :o)
Thank you for such a lovely compliment. My heart belongs to those in Heaven and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It means a lot to me that you appreciate my efforts..God bless you

Compelling image, Tahnja. Has such a strong sense of design. Cheers! TPS
Tahnja replied
Oh my goodness, hello my friend! Sooooo good to hear from you again and thank you so very much for stopping by to view my work.
I painted a commission of the Suffering Christ recently and was inspired to paint the background almost identical to what you see in this painting. I fell in love so much with the technique I used that I wanted to do something again only this time with a more traditional painting of Our Lady.
I am working hard on my style and techniques so that I can be good at what I do and proud of what I create.
Chris Bigelow
Wow, great painting Tahnja! I can really feel a sense of peace in this painting
Tahnja replied
Thank you so much Chris for stopping by to comment. I sold the original today and have another commission to paint Our Lady of Sorrows. I LOVE painting religious works as they are in my heart and soul. It’s even more amazing to me to be paid to paint these works, it deeply touches my heart.
God bless you and peace to you my friend, I’m so glad you can feel the peace of Our Lady in this painting

There really is something magical about your paintings Tahnja; rather than just being a painted subject, there is glowing magic in them.
Tahnja replied
Aww wow my friend, what a wonderful compliment. I truly love my religious subjects with all my heart and I do believe that it makes all the difference. I’m also always wanting to learn and be better so with each painting I think that is happening
