Takaroa (Ellis)

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

This is a painting of my missionary grandson in French Polynesia on a tropical island in the South Pacific. (Rough assignment, I know, but someone has to do it!!! LOL.) He is loving his mission and we are very proud of him.

We loved this photo of him. It is so contemplative and serene. When I painted it, I tried to enhance the lighting to give the face more visual interest.
