Sisters MK & Meg

[Jeanine Jackson]

This is a luscious portrait. I agree with your decision to simplify the background given all the complex angles throughout.

The softeness is lovely. I think a few, well-placed hard edges near the faces (small sections of hair?) would pull the girls into focus, provide variety of texture, and enhance the painting.

Great job on foreshortening!

Jeanine - thanks so much for your nice compliments.

The finished painting is posted in the unveilings section - and I think the close-ups are in slightly better focus. There really are a lot more edge variations than you can see in these close-ups. My camera blurred everything.
