Hi Patti,
I don't think you should change much on this piece. It looks finished as it is now and I think the person who commissioned it will like it very much. The person who commissioned it chose you to paint his sons because of the way of painting he knows that you currently have, and it's a nice piece of work. Don't screw it up I would say.
I see problem areas, tonal values, as mentioned before and especially in how you painted the faces. Maybe in the future you can post studies with the source photographs on which we can comment in-depth about how you painted certain details.
Greetings,
Peter
