HI
Bad New and Good News -
Boy, You have a tough choice here I think. I would agree with the others that this is just not going to make a great painting as it stands. The images of the kids themselves are fine, but the police-line-up pose next to each other is just not working.
Being one who likes a challenge, and I do think as I said the "raw" images are good, I'd like to suggest some solutions :
1.) Convince her to let you paint them separately. Separate each kid into a painting - Each pose on it's own is fine.
2.) Put a basket of flowers or a something at the base of the boys' left hand - This will infer an interaction or scene - as if the girl is picking flowers and the boy is collecting them, and they've stopped for a second to look at you. This in my opinion is doable, but you have to take care to do it right.
3.) Combine ideas #1 and #2 - They then can hang next to each other, but have a context that makes them work as a diptych. One advantage is that both children can keep their own painting when they get older.
Hope this is of help!
Linda
