Latter-day Saint Temples

I’ve just posted two new paintings, each of Latter-day Saint Temples.

The first painting is of the Saint George Temple, while the second is the Draper Temple at night. Both temples are located in Utah.

The temples of the Latter-day Saints (Mormons) are great subjects, being beautifully built as well as beautifully landscaped. Two of my daughters were married in the temple in nearby Redlands, which was also the subject of a recent painting for that occasion.

The Redlands Temple also played a significant role in another painting, Orange Grove and Temple, as a background to orange groves, a subject I had, at that time, been concentrating on, and which continues to receive my attention. The Redlands Temple was originally orange groves, and at the time of its building, it was right across the street from more orange groves.

Another recent painting I had posted, but hadn’t yet mentioned in any of my posts here, portrays the Mt. Timpanogos Temple through trees in the Autumn.

They are landscape and architecture combined into one perfect set of subjects.
