Crooked Smile (Bradshaw)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – 14×18 Acrylic Jan 2021

Another gift portrait for the wonderful missionaries who pass through our area. Elder Bradshaw was trained to work with Spanish-speaking people (hence, the badge) but, for some reason, was assigned to our area. He was a fine young man, ,and we much enjoyed working with him. Below is the reference photo:

Below is a photo of him holding his painting. He seemed most pleased with the hair.

Thought you might like to see three early versions of the portrait as it slowly took shape.
