Sisters & Friends

It felt so good to get back to painting. It’s been awhile, and I’ve been wanting to do a painting of these two sisters who are also my adorable nieces. My sisters little girls. ♥

“Sisters, we love you. We pray for you. Be strong and of good courage. You are truly royal spirit daughters of Almighty God. You are princesses, destined to become queens. Your own wondrous story has already begun. Your ‘once upon a time’ is now.”
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Inspired by a picture I came across of my friend’s little girl. I couldn’t resist, my mind was spinning with ideas of what a painting of that scene could look like. :)

Quote to go along with the illustration of this painting:

“. . . Remember that you are spirit daughters of the most creative Being in the universe. Isn’t it remarkable to think that your very spirits are fashioned by an endlessly creative and eternally compassionate God? Think about it—your spirit body is a masterpiece, created with a beauty, function, and capacity beyond imagination.

“But to what end were we created? We were created with the express purpose and potential of experiencing a fulness of joy (see 2 Nephi 2:25). Our birthright—and the purpose of our great voyage on this earth—is to seek and experience eternal happiness. One of the ways we find this is by creating things.”

- Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Everybody Needs A Friend

I was debating whether or not to include this in my ‘Eve Series‘, as it began with the intention of showing the beauty of  compassion that women instinctively have… but once I completed the painting… looked at it for awhile, it kind of stood on its own. Let me know what you think!

“Relief Society stands for love. What a remarkable thing it is to witness the love of good women one for another. They mingle together in the bonds of love with friendship and respect for each other. This organization is actually the only resource that many women have for friendly association.

“It is the natural instinct of women to reach out in love to those in distress and need.”

- Gordon B. Hinckley
