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!

[nicollo]

Tissot (no.21) captures the moment beautifully.

Happy Christmas to all!

[Hebrews 11:6]

many from artists I’ve not seen

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

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

[Hebrews 11:6]

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

Merry Christmas to you and yours, nicollo!

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Best ever Dan. Merry Christmas!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Come back tomorrow if you can, Chauncey, for the rest of the festivities....

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan.

Merry Christmas! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

And to you, Mary-Lou! Help yourself to some Christmas treats there on the table.

[drwoof]

Beautiful!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yes, He is! LOL

Merry Christmas!

[Hostage]

Larry, well done on Bannon this morning.

Very well done!

Please leave a link to your History Master Class series, thank you.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Are you sure you’re commenting on the correct thread?

Either way, welcome, and merriest of Christmases to you!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

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

[Hebrews 11:6]

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!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

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!

[Hebrews 11:6]

You can sample one or more of these Fruits of the Spirit:

Love
  Joy
    Peace
      Patience
        Kindness
          Goodness
            Faithfulness
              Gentleness
                Self-Control

[Scott from the Left Coast]

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!

[Hebrews 11:6]

That’s what they’re for!
