I meant to spend a lot less time on this 12"x12" portrait of my son and granddaughter...did I wreck it Brian? I did finally get a resemblance...Onward and upward!

Hey Nanci, great to see you on here! Hope all is well these days! This is lovely Nanci, looks a bit like pastel to me, I like the color and composition a lot, can't tell if its a good likeness of both figures but the granddaughter looks so sweet and the man looks very believable! As the painting in back lit with the light source in the upper left, I might add a bit more of that yellow orange to the outline of the heads and shoulder....just a couple of highlights would do it and maybe on the arm of the chair.
the more I look, the more I like, very endearing piece Nanci!
