The Surgeon (Moore)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – Acrylic 14×18 Jan 2024

This is my orthopedic surgeon – the one who is going to cut me in two weeks! He is a super guy and everyone loves him. (We’ll see if I still do after the surgery!) He had an interesting face and I had fun painting him. This was the fastest painting I have done to day. It only took 14 hours (which is fast!)

Here he is holding the painting. He and the nurses loved it and we heard a lot of “Wow!” The lighting is very different, so the skin color doesn’t look quite the same, but you can see the likeness is basically there.

Here are three photos of the painting in its various stages. The red marks are various areas to tweak.
