Michele,
You show a lot of grit posting this fine painting in this section, you are to be commended. It will be most helpful to everyone to see a critique of this lovely painting.
My own nit pick would be as follows:
You may want to distinguish the boys left nostril a little more. I'm sure it is mostly lost in the light but maybe not quite this much.
The boys right ear could use a little more modeling and maybe a reduction in contrast within that form.
The love seat arm on our left at the top, I think this could benefit from a more gradual rounding of form as it falls away.
I find that the composition might have been more satisfying if you had omitted the cushion in front. Maybe there were considerations that are not obvious.
In my opinion, this is a very fine portrait. The childrens faces are wonderful. Congratulations!
