Chris, thank you. The backgrounds look a lot more rendered than they actually are. I value massed and edited a lot.

Alex--They asked for separate portraits, to their credit. They let the boys determine how much they want to mirror each other in life. The mother may have steered clothes, but the shirts were two different shades of light blue. They are more consciously posed than I usually like to do, but I designed the paintings to be hung either together or separately. (I don't think the plan is to hang them together.)
