Thank you Jeanine,

It is funny that you picked out the background on the left. I played with the thought of making it darker but decided against it. This is why. The painting will hang in a very large, high ceiling, formal room with one wall that is completely windows. As you look at the painting, the windows are on the left so I wanted the girls to look as if that window was their light source. Does this change anything for you?

I hope it isn't a big distraction.

As for my clients, the girls paternal grandparents, yes, they are thrilled. However I am told their son, the girls father, is not.

He doesn't like the artist's last name.

By the way, these lovely girls are my daughter's from a previous marriage. It was a sweet commission.

Thanks again for your comments.
