Four Gen (Ellis)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – 16×20 Acrylic Nov 2022

Here are four generations of Ellis’s: Grandpa on the far right; grandson/dad in the middle, son on the left, and Easton at his blessing. One of the challenges of this painting was capturing the effect of the light. I also had to turn all the eyes so that everyone was looking in the same direction. I wish you could see the real thing because much is list in the photo of the painting. Below is the reference photo:
