Who painted the murals in the draper temple ordinance room?

The mural in the ordinance room of the Draper temple is awesome and I want to know who painted it. If anybody knows, please let me know. I think the artist is from Utah, but I am not certain. Here is the best picture (not mine) that I could find.-( here is a link to the answer to this question) Who painted the Draper Temple Murals?


Also, I think a lot of people wonder why Mormon’s build and attend temples. I just saw this video and I think it is worth the three minutes to watch and I personally agree with what is shared in this video. So here it is.

Artistic talent is genetic

I have always wondered if artistic talent is genetic. I have wondered many times if my amazing artistic talent just came out of nowhere or if my parents were responsible. Is artistic talent nature or nurture? Do children draw like their parents or do they develop and change based on their experience and training. These questions have puzzled my mind until recently when I found my progenitors priceless precious painting displayed here. You can now answer those questions for yourself.

A new level of abstract art!!


Skiing at Alta for free

About 6 months ago my brother told me how you can ski for free at Alta ski resort. He told me that the sunnyside lift is free everyday after 3pm. Michelle had a goal to learn how to ski this season and so I was excited to take advantage of the free 1.5 hours of skiing which is the perfect amount of time for a beginner to learn without getting discouraged, cold and/or hurt and more importantly the teacher doesn't have time to express intense frustration or impatience. We ended up going about 5 times this season (for free) and Michelle has become a good skiier. To illustrate, yesterday we went up and in blizzard conditions Michelle decided to tackle a blue (medium) run. All I have to say right now (until I get her permission to publicly describe what really happened) is she did really well even when she couldn't see due to the fog and snow. Great ending to a good season
