I suppose the artist was Mormon? What do you know about him?
Interesting picture of John the Baptist. I've never heard of C.C.A. Luvmom
C.C.A. Christensen did lots and lots of paintings on topics of Church History, mostly pioneers, etc. His style is somewhat stiff and primitive, but his paintings were many and large and I believe he went on tour with them to teach the story of the history of the Church. The Church owns many of them now and they appear in the Ensign and other publications now and then.,
