The Wood Children
Normally I'd post these in critiques, but I've already delivered the paintings so there's nothing I can do as far as changes. Also, I don't want to take up people's critiquing time, so here you go....
I'd never painted dogs before (of course I didn't tell the client that!) and it was more fun than I expected.
The mom was delighted when I delivered these -- and best of all, she paid me a deposit to do another portrait of the two kids with herself and her husband next year!
The paintings are 30x40".

Very beautiful,Michele! It seems that you get better with each painting. Do you feel like you are?

Wow.
Of course she was thrilled! I especially enjoy the way you have designed the portratis to be compatible, but still very individual. Beautifully done work Michele.

Those are really beautiful. I like the dogs too!
I like the colourful background of the girl very much.

You have this hair thing down. The boy's hair is perfect, and I love the back lighting with the girl.

Wonderful Michele. You seem to be doing plenty - have you been getting faster do you think? Not that it is important at all, but I remember you had mentioned it.

Michele,
These are wonderful! Lovely, soft well modulated skintones, beautiful light. The best yet!
The boy and the dog seem to share the same happy expression, a great boy and his dog portrait.
Sincerely,
