After the beautiful and inspiring funeral yesterday of Elder Packer, I found this article with some of his art work I hadn't seen.  I think you will enjoy it.   Photo Gallery: The Artwork of President Packer  The Bishop's Team  , 1999, (pg. 112) Acrylic on canvas; 22 x 30 in. President Packer painted this scene of a faithful bishop's horse team waiting patiently in the field while he went to help his ward members. He told it in his  April 1999 general conference address . President packer putting the finishing touches on his painting in his backyard. (pg. 113) Singing Meadowlark , 1990, (pg. 133) Acrylic on canvas; framed, 11 1/2 x 14 in. President Packer explains that meadowlarks sing "Brigham City is a pretty little town," but people often mistakenly interpret the song to be about their own hometown. Beyond the fields can be seen President Packer's hometown, with the steeple of the Box Elder Tabernacle just visible.
