ReplyDeleteYour painting of Mary and baby Jesus was my favorite when I discovered your art several years ago. I loved it so much I bought several prints of it and gave it to my family for Christmas. Last week I saw it in the store and wished I have bought myself a print.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have that painting in my home to remind myself, my husband and four children of the birth of our Savior as the beginning of the greatest gift they will ever have - the life, love and sacrifice of a Savior who makes happiness, forgiveness and Eternal life possible.

The painting of Mary and the baby Jesus reminds me how dear our children are to us. Even Mary, as the mother of Jesus Christ, loved him as a baby. When each one of my children were born I was amazed at the love I felt for each one. An elderly great aunt told me when I expressed to her how much I loved my child "you would suffer death for them". That is so true. We hold these precious babies so close praying that they will embrace the gospel and be able to return to our Heavenly Home. Mary, I am sure, had those same thoughts. How beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAs I stated in my comment I failed to add I would love the print in my home. Thank you
ReplyDeleteThe pure love of a mother and child is so hard to put into words. I have a difficult time to this day to explain it. It is easy to see and feel the love Mary has by the way she wraps her arms so tightly around her baby our Savior and look at her eyes. They express her love completely. I could not find any painting of Christ that gave me the hope and peace I was looking for until I saw "Let The Children Come". That is how I envisioned our Savior. Approachable. I would love this picture to add as visual reminder of a mothers love and sacrifice. I believe all mothers can relate to the awesome responsibility that we are charged with. What a gift we are giving to be mothers. Your paintings have truly giving me back the hope and peace I have longed for. Thanks for sharing your talent. I know your paintings have changed lives. At least I know it did for me, and my family. Thanks Liz.
ReplyDeleteI'm not newly married, but new enough to where our house is still being made a home. We have two kids so extra money is not spent on artwork though I do have one of Christ that hangs in our living room. I have scanned through your blog and what beautiful work you do! I think contests are a great way to have you work recognized. I would have never come across this. And to know your blog is actually you. Anyway, I can go on and on, but I would enjoy one of your paintings in my home to help invite the Spirit and teach our children through art the beauty of our Savior. Thanks for doing something like this!
ReplyDeleteThis painting brings tears to my eyes. Through art and photographs, the world gets to see and feel through that sight, moments that touch the heart, literally! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with others that we may all feel!
