"Hope of Israel"-It's Finished!!

Hello!  I recently had my 16X20 oil painting of Mary and Jesus (called "Hope of Israel") framed in preparation for the Springville Museum of Art's Spiritual and Religious show.  Yeah!

Cross your fingers.  I am submitting this and the painting I completed earlier this year called "Dear to the Heart of the Shepherd" which is a painting of the Savior and a lost sheep, just found.  It is a juried show.  So, I may not get in.  Wish me luck!

Cheers,
Jen

Artist Date

Cherilyn's Birthday is TOMORROW.  Happy Birthday!!!  We went downtown to see the International Art Competition at the Church History Museum.  Would have been fun to have more artists along for this fun field trip.  But we thoroughly enjoyed our time none the less.

Had a fabulous lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and then walked through temple square to the museum.  Gorgeous flowers EVERYWHERE! 

The artwork was remarkable, sublime even.  We recognized many familiar friends in the art world here in Utah like Sandra Rast, Mike Call, Mark Malm, David Koch, Annie Henrie, to name a few.  Inspiring for sure.  Here are a few photos of some highlights:
