These kinds of discussions give me the creeps. I suppose I can't separate the issues of parenting from anything else in the universe.
What's not to like about a girl in a dress? I don't think that when ordinary non-professional portrait painting people view a portrait in someone's home they think to themselves: oh gee, I must have seen 20 white painted dresses this week and I'm tired of it. I'll bet I look at a hundred portraits in the course of a week, regular folks don't.
The mother indicated that she wanted something timeless; shall we discuss this concept with a twelve year old? Have the three flip a coin then choose between white, yellow and a light MTV sage.
Sorry for the fathering thing, good luck.
