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

LDS Temples – LA & Bountiful

I normally don’t paint buildings or landscape but I’m trying to extend my Art Portfolio. Here are my first attempts at painting buildings & landscapes. LDS Temple – Los Angeles, and LDS Temple – Bountiful:

“My beloved brothers and sisters, fear not. Be of good cheer. The future is as bright as your faith.” – President Thomas S. Monson

“I love the words of President Joseph F. Smith as he spoke of temple service and of the spirit world beyond mortality. Said he, ‘Through our efforts in their behalf their chains of bondage will fall from them, and the darkness surrounding them will clear away, that light may shine upon them and they shall hear in the spirit world of the work that has been done for them by their people here, and will rejoice with you in your performance of these duties’ ” — Thomas S. Monson
