Divine Embrace Forest We worry about our own

We worry about our own responsibilities as parents

you let them emerge from what you have done

The Painting also took the 2017 Third Place Award at the Portrait Society of America’s 2017 International Portrait Competition

My inspiration was to paint the scene just before Hyrum Smith was shot through the jailors bedroom door

was something the Savior would have done

Divine Embrace Forest We worry about our ownSimilar to Arm's of Mercy, I wanted this image to connect people visually and emotionally to Christ's love. His divine embrace surrounds us on an emotional and spiritual level. As we accept the gift of his divine atonement we immediately feel wrapped up in his arms and comforted by Him who took away death's sting and sin's burden. He has encircled me with this love as I have leaned on his strength and He longs to do the same for you. Reproduced from
