Capital Lake (Shumway)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – 14×18 Acrylic Jan 2022

This is another in my series of missionaries who served in our area. This young lady, like the others, was kind and sweet and full of youthful enthusiasm and love of life. Here she is at Capital Lake in downtown Olympia. Below is the reference photo.

This is a photo of her holding her painting. She was very pleased with it.

Here are five photos of the painting as it slowly emerged from sketch to final portrait.
