Hi Pat,
I just saw this and wanted to chime in as well. Very nice! I like the soft feel and their expressions as well. The client is very lucky!

Thank you, Enzie. I tweaked it a bit this morning and took a better ref photo, attached. Now it is on it's way!

VERY nice Pat!
Funny, they look like they could be your own kids (sort of resemble your little thumbnail image). I'm sure their mother is thrilled with it! Who wouldn't be?

Stunning Patty! I can't get over how deftly you handle these challenges. I'm really envious.

Thank you Heidi and Molly,
I always get so nervous when I send the commissions out to the client (this one lives in Ct). I don't know about you but by the time I am finished with a piece I question every little nuance and have no clue what response I will be getting. So the encouraging remarks here in unveilings always help me worry less!!! Am I the only artist who struggles with this? Will it get better the more commissions I do?
I just received an email from my last commission and she asked if she could post the image of her daughter on a parents email list -
Y E S, O F C O U R S E !

OOOOHHHH Pat! I think this is one of my favorites - I love that people still draw!
Have you tried using a silver-point yet? You have such a graceful stroke you would do wonderfully, plus they are worth more too (meaning in cost hierarchy)! 
It really is beautiful, three times aye? Well it was certainly worth it!

Thank you Elizabeth!
I have not considered silverpoint, but I always love looking at drawing done in silverpoint in museums. Maybe I will give it a whirl. You have to be really confident in each stroke, don't you? No erasing?? I might not be quite there yet, but would be fun to practice.

Try practicing with some pen and ink first, I bet you would be great at it. I haven't mustered the courage to use my silverpoint yet either.
