I just finished a commission for a client whose wife passed away, also. He wanted something to give to his three daughters. Our solution was to have me paint three virtually identical portraits. (Nice way for me to get additional work and each daughter now has an original painting.)
I nailed three canvases together side by side, put them on my easel and painted them all at the same time (forehead, forehead, forehead, eyebrow, eyebrow, eyebrow). It was a strange way to work but the paintings all turned out great, and everybody's happy.
