Simon Dewey Let Your Light So Shine 11×14 Matted Print

“The example we set may be the only gospel message that some people ever receive. When we think of our example to others in those terms we can see why the Savior associated light with this principle. I hoped to show that even children can be taught that the way they live their lives can be a significant missionary tool. It is quite a challenge to photograph models using candle light but the play of shadows across the forms can be very appealing visually. It is not typical in paintings for the actual light source to be apparent, but I felt that seeing the small flame illuminating the scene might remind us of the Light of Christ filling the universe with His influence.”
