Description
I had been thinking about a comparison Elder Richard G. Scott made in the 2009 General Conference in his address titled, "To Acquire Spiritual Guidance". He said, "The inspiring influence of the Holy Spirit can be overcome or masked by strong emotions, such as anger, hate, passion, fear, or pride. When such influences are present, it is like trying to savor the delicate flavor of a grape while eating a jalapeno pepper. Both flavors are present, but one completely overpowers the other. In like manner, strong emotions overcome the delicate promptings of the Holy Spirit."
After admiring a still life one day, I realized the concept of grapes and jalapenos would make a good painting, with spiritual undertones.
This painting received an Honorable Mention in the Eastern Idaho State Fair in 2013.
