Ellis’ paintings have been the subject of fourteen additional books. The themes have varied widely; from the southern lowcountry to Martha’s Vineyard, flowers and gardens, moonlight, golf, and fishing. 1n 2004, The Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia honored the depth and breadth of Ellis’ career with a major traveling exhibition titled Ray Ellis in Retrospect; A Painter’s Journey. He was subsequently awarded the Salmagundi Club’s Medal of Honor for Lifetime achievement in the Arts. In 2013 Ellis collaborated with CK Woflson on Painting a Life: Ray Ellis An Artist Seen Through His Work. The biography was published posthumously in 2014. Ellis's paintings are included in major museums and private collections throughout the country. His paintings hang in our American Embassies in Geneva, Vienna, London, and more recently, Brussels. In 1999, he was commissioned by the White House to do a series of paintings of the Rose Garden. In 2004, the Telfair Museum of Savannah, GA exhibited a major retrospective of his work.
