Mara,

Here's a suggestion - go to the main site and study the painting there that deal with multiple subjects.


Here's one by Coni Adams that I plucked from that section:

And another by Bart Lindstrom.

Thank you, Mike!

I love the two examples you "plucked" out and posted here. While my previous work in multiple children was stiff and certainly not as accomplished as these, I'll post a couple here just for fun.

In the meantime, I'll be researching as you suggested. I have spoken with my client and let her know that my friends on the forum have suggested we re-shoot. They are pleased that I am taking my time to do this right and they are being patient and willing to wait.
