Ernest & Greg standing in their living room on Christmas Eve
This Fall, we debuted a new feature on our Alpha Omega Arts news blog, a Collector Spotlight highlighting our varied interests as collectors. In last night's Christmas Eve photo above, Ernest and Greg are holding a new work by Anila Quayyum Agha titled, "Moon Beam For My Love 1." This is only the second piece we've aquired by Agha (with the first being a more abstract work in 2014), but we've been fans since first being introduced to her work in 2013. Do you collect old masters, new masters, or even flea-market prints, we invite you to share your story too! (Begin here)
"Moon Beam For My Love 1" (2016) by Anila Quayyum Agha, 11"x11" Frame, 5 5/8"x5 5/8" mixed media on paper. (Laser-cut patterns on paper with mylar and embroidery). Image courtesy of gallery

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.
