I Love Religious Art

 We went to see the exhibit Sacred Gifts 

at the BYU Museum of Art.

Three artists were featured including Heinrich Hofmann.

This is one of my favorite paintings of his -- 
Boy Jesus in the Temple.

I took my children along hoping 
they would love it as much as I did.

Over the years I have tried to share my love of 
Religious Art with my family.

I especially love Mormon artists.

One of my favorites is C.C.A. Christensen.

He is best known for his Mormon Panorama—

a series of 22 paintings depicting the history of the Church.

He toured with his huge paintings which were 175 feet long.

I love these paintings.

For Christmas, Brandon had drawn Bryan to give to this year.

 For a joke, Brandon got Bryan this picture 
which they both think is funny!

It is one of CCA Christensen's!

When I saw it I got so excited, 
until I found out it was a joke gift!

In the end, Bryan didn't really want it 
and I was thrilled to have it.

Here are a few of CCA Christensen's paintings 

about the Book of Mormon:

 

 

 

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
