I just found this thread with your recent painting, Chris and it is beautiful as is Peggy's. When I see these two paintings and compare it with my recent portrait of three siblings...well, I realize I have a long way to go.
The composition and sightline are so important and if not done well can ruin an otherwise good portait. I had to move an arm with my recent portrait because it was going straight off the canvas making the viewer feel like they were falling off. I brought her arm up which helped but then I started making-up an arm in my head which is a no, no.
Thanks for posting!
