A peace dove

This is my mother´s stuff again, love her watercolor paintings, and this one is from her religious collection.


Maybe it is peace dove, on the way with some good news. Or... It is whatever you want it to be.
The painting is somewhat cropped.

Praying

My mother Gunvor did -as I told you before - some religious work during her active years. Now she is gone but I always will remember her - like this - thru her work.


This is a nun praying, a really wounderful piece, carved in wood that she found here in the countryside where she used to live.



And this is another carved piece of wood, I see it like the face of Christ. This one is not completed, it had to be refined, but I like it as it is really.

More religious art from Gunvor

This close to christmas I feel like showing you som more things from my mother Gunvor's collection - some of her artworks - here you have of Jesus Christ in different forms.



This one is my favorite - made of wood and then partially painted - a crucifix; Jesus on the cross.


Here is a close up on the face.



This a face of Jesus carved from a solid piece of wood.

Her you have more of my mom's art:

Some religious art from Gunvor

You seem to like the stuff my mother has made thru the years, she was a really amazing artist. Here is som more of her stuff, some religious work.



Here you have a statue of Bridget of Sweden, heliga Birgitta as we call her here. She was a saint and founder of the Bridgettines nuns and monks.


My mother made som nativity scenes too, here is one that I love very much, the women on the scene.


And here is a nun, made of ceramics. My mother's work is now in some churches and other public places here in the country side, utside Uppsala. 


And here is even more lovely ladies, sitting on a bench chatting.

Outside the grotto...



Here you have an older post of my mum's work:
