She had no reason to bother him any longer once she got her hands on his rose. This is proven by the fact, that every encounter with them is fatal as they pluck your rose's petals and indeed you find one Lady playing with Garry's rose. The Painting Ladies become "enamored" with any humans and chase them relentlessly because they enjoy playing "loves me, loves me not" with roses and know that every human has a rose.The painting of a figure in brown was not killed for helping Ib, but for telling the truth, of all things, in the Liar's Room.The Flowers of Jealousy are jealous that Mary is going to leave. It's also shown in "A Painting's Demise" that the other paintings don't approve of Mary leaving (writing on the wall calls her a bad girl).Mary also uses vines to protect her things and her yellow rose can mean envy or jealousy as well as friendship. The painting that uses unnatural vines to separate Garry from Mary and Ib is the Flowers of Jealousy.Also, the other artworks are like family to Mary. It's because Mary's also a painting, and wants to escape with Ib. When Ib is with Mary, she almost never runs into enemies.If you try to look into a mirror with Mary in your party (which you probably won't, since it involves otherwise pointless backtracking), the mirror shatters probably because false humans have no reflections, which would have quickly revealed that Mary is actually one of the artworks.
