A Mother’s Love

Oil on canvas, 24×30 inches (60x76cm), 2023

inspired by a story I heard a few months ago. Reliable sources have confirmed to me that the story is true. Its messages are broad and very timely.

A young woman’s baby died in her womb. Devastated, the mother and her husband drove to the local LDS temple and sealed that child to them for eternity. After that sacred ceremony, the mother felt God’s love pour into her broken heart. She sensed that the Savior was cradling her, even as she felt she was cradling her unborn child. Tears of gratitude flowed.

Hearing this story, I knew I had to retell it in paint.
