Deviousness |
the man who painted it used a really athletic kid from Dixie college to hold a lamb over his shoulders as a reference. It was meant to be a grand triumphant painting, showing the Savior bringing home a lost lamb. But whenever the kid posed for the picture the lamb's head would droop down and ruin the shot. They tried it multiple times but the lamb wouldn't cooperate so the artist gave up. As they were leaving the kid was holding and comforting the lamb, and when the artist saw it he knew that's what his painting needed to be of. The tender love and comfort the Savior gives to all.
