Sisters and a dog

Just finished this one and delivered last Sunday. It's 42" x 32" oil on canvas.

Very nice Cindy. I'm sure your clients love this! I like how the sisters are so different; their clothing, hair and posture have much to say about their personalities. Their hands are beautiful. I like the texture of the dog fur too.

Thanks Debra. I'm glad their differences came through - I went shopping with the mother for their outfits, hoping to reflect their personalities a bit in what they wear. (I hate shopping, and so does their mother! It was quite a chore finding something that worked that was harmonious, and that we thought the girls would actually deign to put on...)

Cindy,

This is a beautiful painting! Would you post some close-ups when you get a chance?

Brava

Cindy, great job!

I like the informality of their expression and dress against the geometry of the stairway and paneling. Great sense of LIFE, too.

Thank you so much for your nice comments. The geometric forms of the stairway were a big concern, as well as the moulding on the wall. I had to move the moulding so that it didn't chop anyone's head off visually, and where I couldn't move it, try to soften it so that it didn't draw attention to itself.

Here's some details, Chris.
