Notes
Artist statement: "This is part of my same Book of Mormon prophets series. It is of King Benjamin who was a righteous king who served his people as a king and a prophet. In this depiction he is holding the sword of Laban with the reflection of those gathered to hear him speak in their tents and in the background is another depiction of him preaching from his tower to the people of Zaramehmla. The script in the background is part of Mosiah 2:9 open your ears that ye may hear, and your hearts that ye may understand, and your minds that the mysteries of God may be unfolded to your view. This is acrylic on canvas 12x36 in. And of course for this peace in the gold boarder at the top is the kings crow w/halo to represent him as a true man of God."
