I have the honour of being a Confirmation Sponsor

When I asked my Confirmation Candidate what she would like as a gift, she replied a picture of Mary for her room.

Any suggestions of who might sell them and from where?

Thank you!

Suzanne recommended this artist who is in her area - TCL Portraits. I've ordered from her and think they are quite lovely.

Catholic to the Max has lots of classic options.

Thank you Mary - the ones from TCL Portraits ARE LOVELY! I had never heard of her before!

And thanks too for the recommendation to Catholic to the Max!

I will forward these links and let her decide!

A few years ago I purchased this print of the Immaculate Heart of Mary to hang in my girls' rooms. I found some nice mahogany frames from a local framing store (nice, but not expensive frames), and framed the prints myself. My girls love this print

What nice options I haven't seen before!

I must say that while I love SO many different images of the Blessed Mother, I find none as stunning as those by Bougereau. I just love them all, and they are all readily available as prints from a variety of places including various details from the paintings. My personal favorite is the Pieta (a bit heavy for a girl's bedroom), but Song of the Angels and L'Innocence (and all the others ) are just lovely as well.

I'd be careful just searching his name on a non-Catholic site, though, with kiddos around. Some of his depictions of Greek and Roman mythology are quite startling for little eyes.
