Allan,
Finally we can see this completed! The color scheme is so rich. Even though the colors are cool and neutral in some areas, there is a lot of warmth in the color, especially the shadows, and I think this contributes to the richness. I love the grouping of the figures, the lost edges in some areas, and the way each individual comes across within the group.
The portrait as a whole is beautifully composed. It is a thoughtful and feelingful work of art.
