Paintings Art Ballet

For my Mother's birthday, my Father wanted me to find a specific painting for him to give to her. This painting was one of and ancestor we call "Wee Granny", who died coming to Utah during the mass exodus of the Latter-day Saints. She was very old and still tried to make the long and arduous journey to Utah. She died in Nebraska near Chimney Rock and said, "Tell John I Died with My Face toward Zion". John was her son and Zion was the place that she believed God had prepared for her and her family.

I found the painting by Clark Kelley Price and was able to help my Father obtain a copy. I believe that those who create these types of paintings want to show a love for those ancestors and forgotten heroes of the past. We all want to feel like we fit somewhere in the grand scheme of things and these types of stories help us feel like we do fit in. What better way to remember these events, stories, and people than with artwork that is a visual representation of these stories?

This artwork can be seen all over the church; it helps members reconcile their past and look forward with faith to the future just as Wee Granny Murdoch looked forward to her family settling in the western part of this nation. Pioneer art is an expression of love for their ancestors. Remembering these heroes is a great way to gain spiritual strength even in these modern times.

Trent Bowen is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is a collector of LDS media. He is the owner of http://www.prophetpaintings.com. He believes that LDS art can bless the lives of others.
