Spring, 2022 by Reynaldo Alaniz

As an art student at ACC, I entered one work of art to the Tx .Assoc. of Schools of Art Students Show and one of my sculptures was accepted. I carved this white buffalo for my grandson , Lt. Reid Jones, U.S.M.C. while teaching him how to carve stone. Students from Baylor, University of Tx, Houston, Texas A & M , El Paso among many others also compete in this show. There is a lot of talent out there

St. Mother Theresa Oil Painting

FlASHBACK: In 2000, I made this painting of Mother Theresa ;and, in 2013, it was sold to Sister Dunn of CHI St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bryan, Tx. .

In May, 2021, my wife and I attended my grandson’s graduation from Texas A & M in College Station and I made it a point to try to locate it for the first time since 2013.

Once in Bryan, we got to the hospital and couldn’t miss it because it was immediately to the left of the main entrance next to the elevator doors safely enclosed in a glass case, one of my favorite paintings.
