Would you paint this?

Never turn away a paying customer.... I have a client who wanted me to paint a memory. She emailed me some poor quality photos, which I combined for this portrait. I am not sure whether to call it a portrait or a landscape. There are no highlights, no shadows. The photos were taken on a cloudy day. I worked very hard to make the figures warm and appear as if they are really there. My question is, would you have painted this?

I haven't varnished this one yet and the paint is still wet, so my photograph is not the best. The colors aren't quite right since I photographed this painting in artifiial light last night.

size 20" x 24"
Faces are about 1" tall
