As you look at these two paintings, do you have any idea who the artist is? I didn't! The artist is President Henry B. Eyring of the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Here is what he said about these two paintings, and other original works which were displayed in an exhibit:
“My motivation in all of my varied creative work seems to have been a feeling of love. … I felt the love of a Creator who expects His children to become like Him—to create and to build. In addition, I have always had a feeling of love for my family, friends, and others who might gain some satisfaction and joy from my efforts. So, my hope … is that those who see this exhibit might feel both the Savior’s and my own love for them.”
