Hi Patty,



Congratulations, mother of the groom!

This portrait is looking good!

I like the skin tones and the pastel colors very much, and the detailing in the clothing is coming along very well. There's a very nice three-dimensional feeling shaping up here! I think you can display it with pride as is. And they will LOVE it.....

Minor nit-picky things if you want to keep working on it:

Hillary: the highlight on the lips is quite bright, the contrast could be less

Your son: a bit more shadow under the chin? Also, the highlight in his eye is very very bright. Angle of the nostril?

But, like I said, these are nitpicky things.
