53) His own ass. (That’s a donkey, to you moderns. What were you thinking)?

54) Birds? Ravens, or crows, I think.

55) Dogs.

56) A fish. Or a whale. Depends on who you ask.

Paintings, illustrations. sculptures, stained glass windows...great page!
I like #20 by Mandel

Many thanks, Dan.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Well done!

Just for that, I'm giving you the weekend off.....

[Hebrews 11:6]

Am finishing up the stained-glass Christmas extravaganza, Alba! YOWSA!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

So many fantastic pieces here. Jonah seems to bring out the most creativity. The Babayan sculpture stands out, what an inventive idea.

My fave He Qi makes two appearances here, both magnificent works.

[Hebrews 11:6]

My fave He Qi

Tickled to have you say that, Scott! Seems like my work here is nearly complete, LOL.

[No name given]

Inspiring exquisite beauty!

[Hebrews 11:6]

That’ll work....

It’s too bad that a lot of churches do not include visuals when teaching not only children but adults. It helps cement learning. And then there is the round robin reading the lesson that definitely should be outlawed by the churches. When you only have the kids or adults’ attention in SS for 20 minutes or less .. .this is not the time for to incorporate already recognized poor teaching practices. Keep those pictures coming. . .we so appreciate them.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Will do, Pat.
