This one-of-a-kind original painting, signed and dated Mayme Penry © 1968, is a deeply moving example of mid-century devotional folk art.
The piece depicts a solemn, contemplative portrait of Christ emerging from a richly layered garden of symbolic florals—white blossoms, wildflowers, and foliage painted in expressive strokes against a dark, atmospheric background. The artist’s use of texture, color, and light draws the viewer inward, creating a quiet yet powerful spiritual presence.
Housed in an ornate gilt frame, this artwork carries both visual weight and emotional depth, making it an ideal statement piece for a curated home, prayer space, or sacred collection.
Details:
• Original hand-painted artwork (not a print)
• Signed and dated by the artist: Mayme Penry, 1968
• Folk / devotional religious style
• Ornate vintage gilt frame included
• Minor age-related wear consistent with vintage condition (see photos)
A rare and soulful piece that speaks to faith, reflection, and timeless artistry.

Welcome to my curated collection of vintage, antique, handcrafted, and timeless home décor pieces. Every item in my shop is hand-selected with an eye for beauty, character, and charm. I focus on pieces that tell a story — whether it’s a classic antique, a vintage treasure, or a unique décor find that elevates any space.
Because many of my items are one-of-a-kind, natural variations, signs of age, and subtle imperfections are part of their beauty and history. I photograph and describe each piece carefully, so you can shop confidently from anywhere.
My goal is to offer décor that feels warm, meaningful, and thoughtfully chosen — pieces you won’t find in big-box stores, but treasures that add personality and style to your home.
