A More Excellent Hope
This sacred temple of the Lord graces the earth, emanating the feeling of "a more excellent hope."
"And I also remember that thou has said that thou has prepared a house for man, yea, even among the mansions of thy Father, in which man might have a more excellent hope; wherefore man must hope, or he cannot receive an inheritance in the place which thou hast prepared." Ether12:32
"But reverence as holy, the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh of the hope that is in you with meekness and reverence." 1 Peter 3:15
LDS Los Angeles California Temple painting. Painting inspired by LDS Los Angeles Temple in evening.
Each painting is an Original Giclee painting. These are “multiple originals” meaning it is the first time it exists as an original when it is printed. Similar to original etchings from a plate.
Kendall's new medium “Giclee painting on canvas” (or fine art paper) is a new exciting way to actually paint. This new painting medium has many ingredients which intermingle through the whole process. This painting material is obtained from a palette which includes, among other things, photographs mingled with color elements and brush strokes in the digitized environment of the computer.
In this environment he can paint his feelings and imagination with liquid details. He also has complete control of every element of the painting. Each element is painted using deliberate choices and actions to complete the spirit of the painting. The final ingredient is the Giclee process of rendering the painting on canvas. Kendall's paintings each take about a year to paint.
Kendall, personally prints each painting with the highest possible quality materials. He affectionately calls his printer “my paint brush”. This fine art painting is a Giclée printed onto museum quality fine art paper or canvas. Giclée provides the most accurate and sharpest archival printing results possible. The inks have over 100 year achievability. With a beautiful tonal transitions with a wide colour gamut.
