Alex, thanks so much for your detailed crit.

The checkerboard pattern was totally coincidental, actually. The older girl already had the blouse, (and the sneakers). So I knew we were going to put her in dark slacks. When we found the dress we knew it was a perfect compliment to her outfit.

I used a limited palette so as to keep color harmony - what I liked about the color scheme was it's simplicity. The dog has the same colors as the girls and their clothes.

Using Sharon's suggestion for color harmony, the greys (and the blacks) are all slightly leaning towards green. I don't think that's apparent from the photos - everything looks more blue. The accent spots of color are pink/red.

My palette was flake white, titanium white, zinc white, raw sienna, transparent oxide red, pyrollo ruby, ultramarine blue, viridian, and ivory.
