| Eugène de Blaas "God's Creatures" |
Naturally, I love art that depicts nuns, and especially Dominican nuns. In my opinion, the Dominican habit is more "artistic" looking than any other habit, except possibly the Trappist/Cistercian habit, which is also black and white. The Dominican habit today is more white or ivory than cream; otherwise, it has changed very little over the centuries. However, some communities in warmer climates, such as Texas, have done away with the guimpe and forehead covering, retaining only the veil over a close-fitting cap. I do miss wearing the habit.
