Del Parson asked McKay one day if he would mind posing for a picture he needed to paint for another church. McKay was a little nervous but said he would do it. We went over to Del's house and his cute wife and he had all the clothes for "Jesus and Mark" to dress up for the picture. Very authentic. The picture represents a story this church has about Jesus' last days. They believe that on wednesday before he was to die, he wanted to get away alone in the mountains. Mark, wanted to be with him so much, he followed him and asked if he could just carry his lunch. He would leave him a lone mostly but just wanted to be around him.

We left them alone to pose without an audience. So we didn't know how the picture would look. Del asked us if we wanted to come see the painting before he sent it out. The picture is incredible as all of his work. McKay was pretty pleased with the likeness.

I have to tell you that Del paints the most incredible pictures. He has some in his house that took my breath away. He is an incredibly humble and kind person and his wife manages all his tasks for him and makes us feel so at home there. All in all it was a really awesome experience for McKay and all of us.
