My prayer is that we all will desire to learn More of Christs Love for each of us in Gethsemane.
This painting almost completed is the preamble for a total of at least 11 more paintings concerning pivotal points on the Father's working out of the plan of salvation for all His children who kept their first estate.
I hope through these 12 painting, all mankind will more fully grasp the Father and the Son's great love for each person on earth, past,present, and future. no matter what our station or circumstance in life!

Dear Brother Bedard,
Thank you for the opportunity to come into your home and gallery. Gabbie and I were so taken back by the beauty and Spirit we could feel at your place. We are grateful you have chosen to expand your talents as you have!
My impressions:
I was first drawn to the sincere pleading of Jesus’ face evidenced by the scrunched eye brows and tear stained face. Combined with the outline of earth, my mind went to the Savior pleading for the earth as it is now.. in the present moment.. as if He were pleading to the Father for the wickedness that is in the world in the present day. Kind of a pre second coming theme in my mind. The darkness surrounding the world seemed to add to this idea for me.
After this, while inspecting the painting more, I noticed the blood on His clothes, which took my mind to the garden and the suffering He went through for us there.
The bright spot on the earth caught my attention and I wondered what significance this might have. On looking around where the bright spot was, it looked like I could see palm trees and this made me think of the Middle East/Jerusalem.
These were my first impressions.
Thank you again for the opportunity!
