The Smile (Wray)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – 14×18 Acrylic – Jan 2023

Another of our wonderful sister missionaries. The challenge in this one was the beautiful smile, hence the title of the painting.

Below is a photo of her holding the painting.

Here are four photographs of the portrait as it slowly took shape.
