Brock Cravy is setting up The White Buffalo  to showcase local
Christian art.  The painting is by local artist Latimer Ramsey.
TEXAS---Brock Cravy woke up one day some years ago and realized, "I don't have a life." The 33-year-old man wasn't happy in Los Angeles, particularly in Hollywood, where he worked in film and television. "For many years I was angry with God, but I've come back to my faith, accepted God and put my trust in him," Cravy said. "It is this move to Abilene that saved me spiritually." So what better way to express his passion for art and his faith but to open a contemporary Christian art gallery. [link]

Passing on Your Collection to Another Generation

By Ernest Disney-Britton Our living room in downtown Indianapolis This house (in Indiana) allowed us to explore everything, but today is moving day! It was a maximalist experience for two minimalists who love to collect. We sold off multiple collections, including snow globes, Mary sculptures, paperweights, Disney plates, nutcrackers, 21c penguins, walking canes, and 100 prints and paintings! Most of it was in storage, but plenty was on display. We did it by inviting our community of artists and collectors to an estate sale before opening it to the public. Congratulations to the new owners. We hope your collections continue to grow. Goodbye, Indiana!

THE GLEANER | JAMAICA, WI By Rev. Clinton Chisholm Naked Jesus credited by many to Michelangelo | Courtesy of Wikipedia WISCONSIN - Our Lord Jesus Christ was, in all likelihood, naked on the cross. Christian art and the Church will not face it readily, so you won't see crucifixion pictures of Jesus with exposed penis, though in all likelihood, following Roman custom, he would have been crucified naked.
