Cute Sabrina (Ellis)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – 12×16 acrylic 2020

This sweetie is my niece, Angela’s, granddaughter.  The parents, Bethany and Scott, are very proud of this, their first child. They were thrilled with the painting. About the portrait, Bethany said, “OMG! It looks exactly like her!” She said it was so cute that it literally brought her to tears as she looked at it.  I was thrilled to bring her such joy through my art. When next Christmas (2020) rolled around, they sent me a nice 2 inch paint brush as a Christmas gift, which I thought was very sweet.

Here is Sabrina, holding her painting …sort of

Below are a few photos of the painting as it developed from sketch to final portrait. The red marks in the final photo are areas where I needed to tweak the painting to get as much realism and likeness as I could:
