Happy Christmas Eve Morning Dan! A blessed day to everyone!

What a show! So many ‘special presentations’ - many from artists I’ve not seen at Biblical Art University Gallery before.

To many favorites, to chose just a few. Nice work Dan, depicting different moments of the Greatest Story Ever Told. Well organized.

Thank You for your work Dan, to gather, edit and post!

Tissot (no.21) captures the moment beautifully.

Happy Christmas to all!

I posted all of these previously--I cherry-picked them from earlier threads.

Glad you liked it, and merriest of Christmases, Leon!

Tissot knew how to present a scene. He could have succeeded as a film director.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, nicollo!

Thank you, Dan, this is marvelous and we get a reprise of that incredible Hacker (#4) in the collection.

I went through my previous posts and selected the images I found most representative and appealing. Hacker’s was a no-brainer.

Merry Christmas, Scott!

Merry Christmas Dan and everyone here!

I am sure at my age this much sugar…kitchen sink cookies being made today, apple and peach pies and ice cream already dug into…is just not a great idea!

As I bite into the biscotti from the Monastery of the Holy Spirit (irony not lost on me), that I’m having with my coffee this morning, I’m feeling shaky on that last of the fruits already!
