WHO IS "etabeta"? The most art-knowledgable of all regular responders to these threads. Her contributions have been so entertaining and informative that I asked her to grace us with her favorite Christian artworks.
After some persistent persuasion, she acquiesced and delivered these, grouped by artist, with this explanation:
"There are so many more paintings I love
but tried to refrain myself..."

Good Morning, Dan! :-)
Love Your Choices! :-)
#s 34, 40, 42, & 44.
Apparently, “etabeta” was the name of a favorite childhood toy.
Hi, Mary-Lou!
Early Christmas present for you, John.
I was figuring it was the name of a college sorority..................
Working on my acceptance speech....
Dan, now I am glad you asked me because beautiful art needs to be shared. Thank you for pushing me, I am not an expert but I love art and have learned a bit over the years. Thank you for your friendship and for the wonderful page you have created.
Ah, the Woman of the Day! Thanks so much, Alba, for pointing us to these gems—you are our head teacher. And please: keep on etabeting us!
These are the ones that moved me the most, but they’re all just beautiful and so well done. We are blessed to have them to view.

Forty-three more tomorrow, Jack. Sorta like Christmas Eve, isn’t it?
I’ll look forward to it, as always. I love it!
