At Birth and Death Choose a Framing Option:Black 18 1/2 X 24 1/2 he chose to move forward

he chose to move forward with the most excruciating experience ever endured

Joseph Smiths first prayer is interrupted with contention from the Satan as he prays too God

you will not be burned

And they began to be merry

I remember the first time I was left alone with my newborn son

At Birth and Death Choose a Framing Option:Black 18 1/2 X 24 1/2 he chose to move forwardMy piece, titled At Birth and Death, is a homage to the dichotomies and chiasmus of blood that defined the crucifixion of Christ. Most of all it is a tribute to the women who were at the center of the story from start to finish. Throughout the painting the balance of light and dark, warm and cools, hard rocks and tender flowers, elicits the delicate and essential tension between the pain and despair of Christs death and the hope He ultimately brought.
