portrait of Anna and Casper
 

This is a commission I did of a brother and sister. It is a bit more realistic than I normally paint, but it suits the subject and composition I think.

Their parents will see it tomorrow for the first time! Hope they like it.

Bianca,
This is awesome! Strong visual impact and what an original and clever way to pose 2 siblings! I love your color choices -- the the pink/burgundy theme is very unifying yet works very nicely with the boy in his dark flannel. I'm sure your clients will LOVE it.

Kudos!

I know it is different, but I love it.

Bianca,
It's a wonderful portrait, and a brilliant composition, I like the booths, they'v got the X-factor.
The parents will love, I'm sure!

Bianca,

This is super good! I love the colors and visual impact. Great composition! They'll treasure this.

The parents really loved the painting! I shall miss it, now its no longer in my studio.... oh well on with a portrait of a family of five (!) and a large canvas with two brothers.

Thanks for your nice comments!

Bravo!
 

This is just WONDERFUL! Everything about it is absolutely compelling! Composition, chroma, value... just everything. It will be placed in my reference file of outstanding portrait ideas!

Great personality...full of life. Very assuredly painted too...

Fantastic work! I echo what the others have said especially about the novelty of the pose and how you made it work so well. Technically very well done, also. So confident and sure. I like the close-up very much.
Congratulations!

Thanks Carol, Tom and Carlos!
