Washington Adoptee (Perry)

by Godfrey Ellis – 12×16 Acrylic Oct 2019

A resident of Boise, this young missionary (Sister Perry) loved her stay in Washington, brief though it was. Here she is wrapped in the Washington State flag. I was pleased with how the lettering came out. I significantly changed the background at her request and she loved the more colorful background I came up with. Below is the original reference photo with the nondescript background.

And here is Sister Perry holding her portrait:

Below are two photos of the painting as it was in progress.
