Three Chins
I thought I should post this since some of you were nice enough to make comments earlier - I really appreciated them!
This is Kelly with her three Japanese Chin dogs. This one was about color!
My usual disclaimer, I hope the images are OK, please let me know if I need to upload new ones!

Beth,
it's a wonderful portrait. I enjoy the composition and the subtle colors, and overall the happiness of her face. It makes me simply smiling...

Beth,
This turned out great! I love what you did with the color--as always. You really caught a sparkle in Kelly's expression that, along with the dogs clustering around her, gives the feeling of life. There's so much humor and joy in this portrait, and a serenity that crept in towards the end when you brought everything together by unifying the color scheme.

Thanks so much guys, it was a challenging composition but certainly a fun one! You should see her make clothes for these little guys!

Truly lovely work, Elizabeth, but oh my, those sun-glasses are bound to haunt future generations!
Best regards,

Everthing about this painting is fresh and alive, Beth, big congratulations to you! I like this composition very much. I think my favorite touch is the askew sunglasses, which make sense if you are holding three dogs.

Thank you all very much for your kind words.
David I am afraid those glasses were a lot of my doing... I just really felt the need to balance the cooler white and black of the dogs a little up north. I did know it would still be in keeping with her character. Picture a convertible Cadillac with these little fellas!
