Thanks so much for posting these closeups, Cindy. Very nice! I especially love how that light falls on their hair.

Very well handled, Cindy! It is so very difficult to paint natural looking smiles, especially with teeth - very, very nice!

Thanks very much, Chris and Julie.

I'll be restretching this week - I'll report back how it goes in case anyone is interested.

Update on restretching -

All the horrible things I feared (cracking paint, canvas tearing, spontaneous combustion) did not come to pass. It was a piece of cake.

I wound up taking off an inch from the top, in order to better place them in the picture plane - so in the end, I'm glad I did have to tackle this project.

Hi Cindy -- don't know how I missed this... it's beautifully done! I especially appreciate how delicately you've handled the skin -- and those freckles! :)

Glad to hear that the re-stretching went well.

I'm glad your work didn't burn spontaneously, it's a nice portrait, with a very good sens of light...

Thanks, Terri & Marina.
