Vince and Marcie (for Swass)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – Acrylic 14×18 May 2025

These two are brother and sister and best friends of our friends, Cora and Matt Swass. they commissioned this one as a surprise for Marcie, who plans to come up from L.A. for a visit some time this summer. Below is the reference photo.

As you can see, I moved Marcie closer to Vincent for a better composition. I wasn’t sure how to handle the background and the lighting was a bit tricky on this one. Below are some photos of the development.
