reverently creative

If you're going to be in the NYC area anytime from mid-February through May 26th, Manhattan's Museum of Biblical Art is featuring "Ashe to Amen:  African-Americans and Biblical Imagery."  The exhibit includes works of inspiration by such fine artists as Romare Bearden, Clementine Hunter, Henry Ossawa Tanner and the pictured Holy Mountain III by Horace Pippin, one of Pippin's deeply spiritual visions on canvas finished shortly before his death in 1946.  

I will preach with my brush.  -- Henry Ossawa Tanner 

Pictures just come to my mind...and I tell my heart to go ahead.-- Horace Pippin
