benedictaaugustine Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I thought I’d share my artwork here, I’ve been painting these for about a year and half now! I once went viral on Tiktok for these and people went insane arguing about Jesus in particular lol. But I love the art I do but I’m starting to dry out of ideas… I’m working on St Joseph right now, but any saint suggestions? Here’s a link to the rest of my pics: https://www.magnificatprints.com/shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I want to see paintings of Mary doing everyday Mom stuff - in actual *labor* in the stable, baking bread, knitting Jesus' seamless garment, wringing out laundry, sweeping, packing for the road trip to Jerusalem where Jesus stayed in the temple. I don't mean to denigrate existing art that depicts Mary in prayer/contemplation (The Annunciation, or Mater Admirabilis), or praying by the manger, or presenting Fat Baby Jesus to the viewer, or ascending into heaven, or sitting on a heavenly throne, or protecting crowds of people under her mantle - all of that is good and worthy of artistic representation. But I also think of Mary as the epitome of "The worthy woman" (Proverbs 21:10) - we chose that reading for my grandmother's funeral and my mom's, and I can't imagine Mary being our Holy (But Slack) Mother. I also think Mary was present when Elizabeth delivered John the Baptist - God worked it out providently so that Mary would learn about pregnancy, labor & delivery, breastfeeding, by observing and assisting her kinswoman. Just a thought - take it for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrysostom Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I loved Mother of Sorrows. I also saw one of a younger Mary in contemplation. I've always wanted to see a depiction of Our Lady of Lourdes as Saint Bernadette saw her - that is, around her own age at the time. Bernadette was disappointed when the statue they put up in the Grotto was of Mary as an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I think these are so amazing and beautiful. I read a thread years ago about pictures of nuns looking unhappy/just normal/not smiling all the time. I was intrigued and now I'm totally 'into' seeing pics of nuns who look 'normal', who are still joyful in disposition but not laughing or grinning. It's cool. I wonder if you could do that in your paintings? It could be interesting to explore, especially because you're so talented! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinytherese Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I like the skin-tones you use. Often, Jesus and saints from The Bible are portrayed as white instead of how they likely would've looked in that part of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
