I am so happy to see that you have posted this beautiful portrait! Will Enns had posted a composition question a few days ago about arranging a couple for a portrait.

I e-mailed him and told him some of the information you had shared at the workshop. How from experience you now realize how much arrangement and placement of hands and the interaction of the figures adds to the design. I actually described this painting to him telling him about how you had carefully placed her arms and hands and the dog at her feet.

I'm going to e-mail him and tell him to check this out. And I'll let him know you are going to share some composition decision information.

Thanks for sharing!
