There are so many things I love about this work. On the top of my list are the patterns on mother and father's clothing, the look on mother's face, the exposed nylon garment top, and the way these angels don't show restraint on proximity to each other, flowing like water.

Here is a small version:



The massive painting now resides in the BYU MOA.

Maybe he is drawing off of 16th century Christian art found in Germany?

Don't be silly. It's hanging at the BYU MOA.

Me, too. I should have said that before posting my snark. I dig the African-American quilt images as well.
