Hanging Basket (Carter)

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

This young woman was so sweet; we loved her time in our area. Her face was soft and gentle, which showed her personality perfectly. The challenge was trying to capture that softness. The white dress was a little tricky to paint because there weren’t many details to lock onto, but the background was fun.

Here is a photo of her holding her portait.

Below are four photos showing the development of the painting.
