“The Ellis Mendenhall Sanders House in Nauvoo” 14 x 21 Watercolor
I have been working on several commission paintings from our family history trip this summer. My brother Grant Lee is an avid genealogist and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse to paint some scenes that follow our pioneer ancestors who travelled from England, then worked their way across the plains to settle in Utah and California. As early converts to the LDS Church they suffered many hardships and persecutions as they pursued their beliefs. I have enjoyed getting to know them better by following their pioneer trail.

Hello Roland and Grant…we were soooooo delighted to see your watercolor of our house, The Ellis Sanders House! It is beautiful and we will put in an order today for a print to hang by the front door of this wonderful old home. We delight in the memory of your stay with us. We always say…"The best people find us and choose to stay with us." Thank you for the fond memories, the genealogy you left with us and for your excellent work on this ESH painting.
Onward…David and Diane Owen in old Nauvoo
