Double Delight!
I admired this painting for its composition and execution before reading how you changed the dress colors and worked from two separate sources. Now I am amazed!
It has been said that there can be only one main focal point in a strong painting. This is a serious challenge to a double portrait which I believe you have met by allowing the younger girl to smile so brightly, while her sister is more poised.
You cleverly avoid the "floating bow" syndrome by connecting light areas across their hair.
This should win "Best in Show!" and will probably rotate between family members to avoid a feud.
