Welcome to The Sunday Art Review: Lent in Art. That's a little play on word there folks (say it fast, it sounds like Lenten Art). Anyway, without forcing my own religious beliefs on you, gentle reader I present a relatively non-offensive Sunday Art Review of art with a theme around the season of Lent. I can't believe we're already gearing up for Easter, another year is just flying by. Where does the time go to? OK so back to this week's Sunday Art Review. Some of it is a bit of a stretch, but just go with it. The painting top left is Lenten Roses,by Kirsten Soderlind. Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed this week's Sunday Art Review: Lent in Art. All reflective comments are welcome, at absolutely no charge.
