Three brothers
Dear all, please comment, if you will, on these three paintings. It took me quite a long time to complete them, specially in keeping the same light and atmosphere throughout the three. The family had these very nice pieces of furniture that I wanted to put in, and there was a dining room in the background that disppeared as I thought it was not needed.
They are oil on linen (sized but not primed), 20 by 22 inches. I painted using B&W photos as a reference, and a final short sitting during which I corrected some details
The tough part was also to retain the proportions of the three boys so that the eldest actually looks bigger! I am not sure I succeeded on that with the little one. In any case they were painted separatly because one day each of them will have his own so in the long time the proportions won't mean much.
Please be kind, today I went to see the Royal portrait Society exhibition here in London, I am already humiliated enough!
