The weekend of February 18-19th, my wife "Sammee" and I took a breather. We spent the weekend in downtown Salt Lake. She did genealogical research, while I toured Temple Square and photographed cityscapes for paintings. While relaxing in the Marriott Hotel, I believe I further came to a better solution to the design problems of Roberts Point. This coming week, I may try to apply what I learned to resolve the design eye sore. It is important that we not leave an uncomfortable big dark area. The solution calls for softer colors and values plus continue to simplify the area. The idea came from the way an artist painted the World Room Mural for the Salt Lake Temple.
In the early years of the Restored Church, talented LDS (Mormon) artists were called on missions to study plein-air painting in France with the French Masters. They would return to Salt Lake from their missionary assignment 2-3 years after their artistic studies began, to paint temple murals. There is some really nice painting on the walls of the Salt Lake Temple interior. I hope the Lord will give me the opportunity to paint a temple mural someday. It would be a humbling and richly creative spiritual experience. I would feel it a sacred honor if I am called upon by the church to fulfill such an assignment.
