Fire in the Forest (Rafn)
by Godfrey J. Ellis – 12×16 acrylic 2020
This is the wife of Mark Rafn. He liked his own “Good Samaritan” portrait so much that he wanted one for his wife as a Valentine’s gift. I was interested in doing it because I was intrigued at how bright her auburn hair shone as the light hit fully on it. He asked how much I would charge and I asked for $100 again. So, this was my second commissioned portrait.
Here are some photos showing progress on the painting:
