Thanks for kind comments and noting the obvious error on size. I checked and rechecked the text and never saw my mistake and have changed it to read 60"X48".

I will post a few closeups later today when I return home.

Jim, it turned out nicely.

I find your choice of background rather interesting. Most portraits I have seen keep the background rather simple, but you have juxtaposed a busy background with a formal kids pose, thereby adding an element of movement in an otherwise quiet environment.

Here are closeups of the frys.

Garth, I am 35 miles or so from Reading and though I have driven the route many times I never timed the drive. My guess would be 40 minutes.

The revised vase came from the Boit painting when existing funiture didn't suffice.

Jim, this is really beautiful! Can you post some closeups of the background, too?

Jim,
Nicely done. I loved how you worked some of your edges and the boldness of your brush strokes.

Linda,

Here are several examples of the background as well a shirt detail. Unfortunately the many reflections caused by the brush and pallette knife applications required a lot of digital corrections and value balance suffered a bit.
