Shopping for New Habits

"Shopping for New Habits"

16" x 20" original acrylic - SOLD

I recently had the pleasure of touring Rome with my sister. The day we went to St. Peter's Basilica, we found ourselves on a side street lined with shops that obviously catered to clergy. Nuns and priests strolled the street and lunched at street cafes; many of them tourists like ourselves. I was very taken by watching the nuns shopping. It may not be something they get to do often. Like me, they might have been in awe of being in Rome. What do you think has caught the attention of the nun with the pink socks & polka dotted bag?
