Adorable! They are going to love this!
I would love to see the finished painting after the eyebrow correction suggested by Jim Riley. That is an area so critical to expression, I fuss with it repeatedly in all my portraits!
I agree that it is our job as portraitists to go beyond the "snapshot" to create a classic tribute. That is where, I believe, we really must deviate at times from the information in our photo sources unless we got exactly the right stuff from the start.
Great painting!
