Happy New Year!

Considering that my first painting (One Eternal Round) is about the plan of salvation I have been thinking about the other names for this plan. I searched online in the Book of Mormon (https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm?lang=eng) and found nine other names of this plan.  I arranged them in an order that made sense to me.

Great plan of happiness
Great plan of the Eternal God
Merciful plan of the great Creator
Great plan of mercy
Plan of mercy
Great plan of redemption
Plan of redemption
Plan of restoration
Great and eternal plan of deliverance from death

While I was searching for this information an interesting thing stood out to me in the scriptures.  I found references to the devil’s plan.  A fitting title would be the plan of damnation.  Here are some of the names in the Book of Mormon:

Great plan of destruction
Cunning plan of the evil one
Plan of [the] adversary
Secret plans
Secret plans of wickedness
Plans of awful wickedness
Plans to pervert the ways of the righteous

Also, I have some other pictures of my painting in case anyone is interested.

 
The side has metal leaf like the lines on the front.

I look forward to new art in the New Year.  I am currently working on a new piece for the 10th International Art Competition.  More info can be found here: https://www.lds.org/church/news/10th-international-art-competition-theme-is-tell-me-the-stories-of-jesus?lang=eng&query=10th+international+art

If my piece gets accepted into the show I will probably wait to post pictures on this blog until after the show starts next year (Fall of 2015).  It will be exciting to have it unveiled to the world when the exhibit opens.

Happy New Year!
