Voila! Here is the finished portrait. I kept it simple by unifying their clothing and giving it a solid background. I think that helps the focus to be on their faces. By doing a lot of the measuring ahead of time, I was able to focus on color mixing and value tones rather than painting over mistakes (I've learned my lesson over the years). So, I will be shipping it off on Monday.. a painting would be such a nice surprise for Christmas :)

wow Leia. Just wow. You are so incredibly talented! I wish I could buy all of your work!
Ditto what Stacy said. Lovely!
Nice work. I know it can be difficult to work on so many subjects at one time.
Great work!
