But you would not

Watercolor, gouache, and metallic ink

While making this piece I had one scripture repeating itself over and over in my head. “How often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and you would not!”

All I could imagine while working on this is the belief of the Divine Feminine within Mormonism, present and patient, thinking to us each at different moments in our lives, “I was here, I called you to come to me, but you would not.”
