Let me add my congrats too!!
Great portrait! Ditto to everything already said.
The heads are really sensitively painted. I like the softness and the glow you achieve and your way of modeling form and still keeping the color vibrant. The gestures of the figures and the way they interact with each other seems to strike the perfect note. I like what you did with the man's foot. It is all so in keeping with the spirit of the painting.
This is really a "double, double" portrait, very ambitious. I'm certain that it is even more impressive in person, and it is understandable that everyone involved is very pleased. Congratulations again!!

Michelle-
I'm so sorry it took me so long to catch this thread but am I glad I did. What a fantastic venture and the result is inspiring.
Congratulations are indeed well deserved.
PS Did I mention that I like the painting, the composition, the feel, the spirit?

Wow! I just found this thread and I am so impressed with how you composed and executed this portrait! It is so exciting to see. I couldn't find the dimensions. Is is about 60" high?

Wow, Michele! I missed seeing this when it first came out. What a beautiful piece! Love the composition, lighting, the lovely way the wife is holding her husband's arm and how he is leaning back towards her, love the colors. This is wonderful!
