The Samoan (Cox)
by Godfrey J. Ellis – Acrylic 14×18 Feb 2024
This young man is new at his missionary service. At his first assignment before coming to our area, he taught a Samoan family. So he wanted his badge written in that language, which I was happy to do.
Hands are always difficult and that was the hardest part of this portrait.
Below is a photo of him holding the painting and another of the two of us.
Below are some photos of the painting as it took form.
