I recently discovered the works of artist
J. Kirk Richards who paints mostly religious paintings of the Savior. Maybe you have already seen his works, but he's new to me, and I just think they are absolutely beautiful, and I just had to share, especially at the beginning of the Christmas Season. If you know me, you know that I am very picky and particular about portrayals of Jesus Christ, especially with LDS artists. So, these works are ones I totally love because they are artistic and reverent, without being cheesy (read:
Simon Dewey).
And, I loved this one so much, I bought a print of it to put in my home:
"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Philippians 2:10-11
It really is such a wonderful time of year to celebrate the birth of the Savior Jesus Christ. I hope you all have a beautiful Christmas season.
Love you all!

One of my life goals is to own one of his original paintings. Follow him on instagram. You won't be sorry.
