The Shirt (Luna)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – Acrylic 16X20 Jan 2025

The shirt! Oh, the shirt! Of course, I could have simplified it – but I like a challenge. These are the parents of our lovely new daughter-in-law. When she saw the portrait of the young couple, she said, “Ah, now I’ve joined the family, I get a free painting.” Yes, she did…. Below is the source photo.

The shirt is not perfect, but it is reasonable. They didn’t know this was coming and were very pleased to get the surprise gift. Here is a photo of them holding it when they got it.

Below are some photos of the portraits as they emerged.
