Two Butterflies (McLelland)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – 14×18 Acrylic Oct 2025

This is another of our amazing missionaries. It is a joy to supply these lovely young women with a souvenir of their service in Lacey.

She wanted a yellow background and didn’t mind when I substituted one of her other dresses for this one. I have done checkered patterns before and they are not fun nor, in my opinion, interesting in black and white. She also wanted her medallion to show.

Below is a photo of her holding her portrait.

Here are some photos of the painting as it progressed.
