Andrea,

This is a beautiful portrait, your colors are so crisp and clear. And I think the border adds to the portrait, what a great element, you were able to figure out a very effective way of using a border. I am sure the parents will cherish this portrait forever.

Well done!

Joan

P.S. I too would like to see a threat on borders. I'll start one if there isn't one already, I'll do a search first.

Hi Andrea,

I also like this very much; I just wanted to add that I really like the way you've handled the fabric on this painting.

I'm also a big border fan. Borders and letters have been used for centuries and I have art books with many beautiful examples. Chris, if you start a thread I'll post some of the examples that I've found.

Andrea, how about re-posting your sister/brother painting in a separate thread?
