Description

I was invited by the Vision of the Arts Auction Committee to create a 5x5 image for the 12th semi annual Gospel Vision of the Arts Auction.

As a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 1978-79 for the California Oakland Mission I needed new shoes. We went shopping, and the best salesman I have ever encountered came to help me. He was a young handsome black fellow who brought out many pair of shoes although I had only asked to see one style. I'd never heard of Famolari shoes and they were at least 4 times as expensive as any shoes I had ever bought before. But they were so cute! And so comfortable and the salesman so irresistible that I bought them. I actually wore them for years after my mission because they were such good shoes. wish I still had them! I can't remember their demise. The theme for the show is Mosiah 15:18 ..."Oh how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him (her) that bringeth good tidings."...
