The Medallion (Hart)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – Acrylic 14×18 May 2022

This is one of the missionaries assigned to our area. We seem to get nothing but kind, faithful, and sincere ones, and this young man was no exception. He particularly wanted the plum blossoms in our yard and his medallion, which read, “Sons of Mosiah; God Our Strength Will Be.”

Below is a photo of him holding the painting, which he very much liked.

Here are four photos of the portrait as it took shape. The red lines were nuances that needed correcting.
