Stacey, Kim - Thanks!
Yes, I've been very lucky to have very attractive children to paint so far! The two families actually live in the same neighborhood as each other, and the children are close in age. Both of these portraits were commissioned by the children's mothers as surprise Christmas presents for their husbands. I have to assume that one got the idea from the other. Apparently there are some others in that neighborhood who have also expressed interest in portraits... so hopefully these will be a hit!
I didn't accept any additional commissions for delivery before Christmas because I wasn't sure how long it would take me to finish these two. So now that they are pretty much wrapped up, I'll be using the time between now and New Year's to try oils. I
may be posting the results -- if they are not, well, too dismal!
Thanks again!
