The Kiss (Yancy)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – Acrylic – 14×18 – April 2026

This was a commissioned piece of the grandson of a ward member. He was stealing a kiss on a trip to the beach. The difficulty was separating the two jackets, which were a similar color.

I made his jacket more brown and her’s, more green. Below are a few photos as it took shape. Here is photo of Robert Yancy holding the painting.

Below are four photos of the painting as it took shape.
