These two 20"x16" oil on canvas paintings make up a commission of two (adopted) brothers. My main concerns here were simply the likenesses and using color to create the illusion of dimension and atmosphere. Any ideas about how to salvage such thoughtless compositions short of restretching the canvasses on smaller stretchers? Any other helpful comments? Thanks for the forums, Cynthia!
