Grace Abounds: The Story Behind the Painting

“Grace Abounds” a watercolor painting by Amy Boardman is a quiet reflection of God’s mercy and light—capturing a simple brown vintage jug filled with soft hydrangeas, gently illuminated by sunlight through a window. Inspired by Romans 5:20, this watercolor still life reminds us that even in our imperfections, God pours His grace into us, overflowing with beauty, forgiveness, and hope. The wicker pumpkin in the background adds a rustic touch—symbolizing resilience and the strength that comes from a life surrendered to Christ. This piece is a visual prayer of redemption, light, and the quiet power of grace.
