Thank you, Linda!"Struggling" is the word. I find that, in these group portraits, it's not good to have too clear an idea of what you want to do beforehand in case the subjects don't fit the idea. On the other hand, when you leave things slightly up in the air, you never know if you have enough information or the right kind of information to make all the parts work together.
In this case I couldn't go back on a second day, but I think it's important for artists to throw away the notion that it is "unprofessional" to keep reworking a painting or taking more reference shots or changing your mind until you are satisfied.
