Thank you Jeanine.
I always end up painting separate portraits of brothers and sisters. The main reason is that one day they can be given to each of the children. Also on a higher level the individual is painted rather as himself than as someone's brother. The family group on the other side has dynamic tensions that can make the composition more interesting.
About the lighting issue I must say this is the first painting whose photo I took with my own lighting equipment, and I think my lamps were too strong, making too much light and loosing all the middle tones.
I have to try again but the light in England is so lovely now that I will stick to natural light until October!
I saw your website and liked the polo paintings very much. I did some painting of horses so I know what a difficult subject they are!
