I totally agree with Michele and Chris, very well put. One of my credos is if you are painting a single person in a painting, you are painting an individual (John) (Sally), if you are painting more than one person in a painting, you are painting the relationship (brother and sister). A double portrait does not work if there is no relationships, and there is no relationship between the children in your photographs....

The way I persuade a client to go with two separate paintings, is tell them that in the future, the kids will be fighting over who gets the painting. Think of the family discord! This way, they will both get their own painting. Harmony ensues....
