Oh, Allan, it is wonderful! You did such a great job with the lighting on the faces. Not only that, they look lit from within, truly radiant and happy. I hope they will love it and that it will lead to many great things in your artistic future.

Allan, I looked at those head closeups for a long time - you have such a beautiful, painterly technique here, with such intelligently managed planes and color changes in the shadows. I love the cool greys in the ears, the liquidity of the eyes and the spots of color in the hair. You've done a lovely job in a difficult light situation. Nice work!

Allan,
the extra time spent on the painting was well worth it and I wish you the best of luck in landing those future commissions from the royal couple!

Allan,
you worked hard on this one, but it worth the effort ! You managed to give unity to those very different references. They look very romantic in your painting too.
What a nice idea to send them such a present!

Allan, I knew you could do this. Well done!! Alexandra and Martin will enjoy your painting vary much, I am sure. I always say, don't expect to much and you will get more than you expected.
Wish you nothing but the best my friend

Grethe, Alex,Linda, Enzie, Marina and Mischa, thank you all,
this has been a true puzzle and you have all helped me by suggesting things. Marina send me a picture of Alexandra in a French Magazine, with a perfectly lit nose. I is'nt easy to play Frankenstein.
The painting is framed, packed and shipped of to the wedding at Jomfruens Egede, and I will try not to expect too much, Mischa.
