Wintertime at the Bountiful Temple

No doubt, I have painted the Bountiful Temple more than any other! I was teaching a class the other day using this type of monochromatic approach and decided to experiment on how the Bountiful Temple would look in mystical stormy weather. I had painted this very scene for my son years ago depicting a bright summer day, so this is in direct contrast to that view.

The little birds roosted in the trees and the glowing lights through the foggy mist lend to the mystical feel of the painting and suggest a long, cold night ahead. What a contrast to the light, warmth and hope that the inside of the temple offers! Acrylic on canvas 16"x20"
