Inside/Outside (Dunkley)

by Godfrey Ellis – 12×16 Acrylic Nov 2019

This is another of my portrait gifts – this one of Sister Dunkley, one of the missionaries assigned to our area. The reference photo was actually taken inside our house in the office, but she requested an outdoor background. She’s a pretty young lady but she didn’t like her jaw line. Truly, we are our own worst critics, aren’t we? I had fun painting the pattern on her dress.

Below you can see her holding her portrait. She was happy with how it came out.
