In the Countryside (Cloward)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – 12×16 acrylic 2020

I have mixed feelings about this painting. It was another of the portrait gifts for a missionary who served in our area, Sister Cloward. She was only here for only a week or two. It bothers me that it is not my best work. The pattern of the sweater was very difficult and the shape of her face doesn’t look correct, although it does more-or-less match the reference photo.
