Religious Art on Campus

It was graduation for my brother and my dad today (they were both getting MBAs). While I was there with the camera though I decided to take pictures of the religious artwork around the school.

These are from the chapel, I haven't really been in there too often. Maybe 3 or 4 times since I started going there in '02. They remodeled it a few years ago and sort of modernized it, which I don't care for, but there is still some pretty things in it.













To get to the chapel you have to go through the old library, this is outside the old library.



Outside at the grotto. I've only walked over there twice, both times in the snow.

Our Lady in Asia

Esther has some really beautiful examples of art, depicting Our Lady in Asia. Represented countries include Korea, Japan, China, and Thailand among a few more. I think that is really neat. I love seeing Our Lady and Jesus depicted among various cultures.

Go check her post out.

Catholic Art on Ebay

Dan Lacey of Faithmouse fame has returned to doing Catholic art which he is selling on ebay (in addition to his pancake on famous heads art). If you have a chance stop by his ebay page and see if there is anything you like. I have 2 things Dan has done, a small painting of a monstrance, and a beautiful sketch of John Paul II. His work is very very moderately priced, and they would make a nice gift for you or someone else.

Beautiful Art on Ebay

Dan Lacey of Faithmouse fame, has been selling reasonably priced art on ebay. I encourage everyone to take a look at what he has to offer. I've bought two pieces from him, one an oil painting of a monstrance and the other a pencil drawing of John Paul II and they are absolutely gorgeous.

Lest you think its all religious, he has been selling pieces of political and pop culture icons and also every day items. He ahad a painting of the dramatic prarie dog, which made me laugh and a few weeks ago he had a small painting of John McCain as a muppet which I thought was absolutely awesome. I was going to bid on it, but I decided I can't take home everything he does.

So take a look, you won't be disappointed.
