By Small and Simple Things (Ellis)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – 11×14 Acrylic Dec 2020

This is Merry’s favorite scripture, taken from Alma 37:6. This was a small 11×14 for an “extra” stocking stuffer for Christmas – but it didn’t quite fit in the stocking! One thing we liked about it was that it could be tucked into a corner because of its small size. I painted it in such a way that it didn’t need a frame. I couldn’t quite match the intensity of the translucent leaves of the seedling. I tried various colors and trying mixing my own paint. Still, it got the idea across. Below is the reference photo.

Here is a photo of Merry holding the painting.
