Recently I had a young group of girls come into the gallery and ask me to get some small pictures of LDS temples. They wanted pictures they would be able to take with them to college and apartments as they started life away from home.
And so....here they are....

One of my favorite photographers of LDS Temples is Bob Boyd. The first one I have pictured here is the Logan Temple. It is quite a magnificent structure poised on a hilltop with an incredible view of the valley. It is quite beautiful.



The second picture is the Bountiful Temple. Located on the side of a mountain, this temple is visible for many miles and seen by many travelers as they fly into the Salt Lake City airport from the North.

This particular photograph is a front view of the temple. Most travelers going past Bountiful on Interstate 15 would see the West or back view of the Temple.

Children's ART Class

Today our Children's Art Class painted Bottle People. Every once in a while we take a break from painting Monet, Van Gogh, Chagall, and Georgia O'Keefe to paint something fun and whimsical.

Our class enjoyed painting today.

New Hot Artist

Over the past two years I have been delighted to see the work of Artist R. Tom Gillean, represented by Greenwich Workshop. His latest work titled "In The Shadow Of the Sixth"is pictured here. I have always been fascinated with Tepees. There is something magical and captivating about them.

The simplicity of these paintings has increasing appeal to collectors of Western Art. I have been aware of his art since June of 2009. Each new release seems to sell out more quickly than the last since his edition sizes are quite small. This giclee is anticipated to have only 20 available in the large Museum Edition.

Another recent release is "Little Star People". This piece portrays the visit of Fireflies on a warm Summer night with the full moon rising over the mountain. I grew up in an area of the country where Fireflies were abundant. I loved to try to catch them and still can spend hours
watching them dance around the lawn.

I'm not sure if it was the memory of the Fireflies or my fascination with the Tepee, but I couldn't resist purchasing this one for my own art collection.
