Portrait Commission

Just to keep me on my toes:  thought a double portrait was quite a challenge, so it's interesting times with a three sibling portrait.  I'm playing with two different ideas at this stage, a single canvas of all three:

and a triptych:

I've also been playing with long tall Betty a bit:  all sorts of issues with her left eye (placed way too low in the first one, and then taking ages to get looking like she's a nice friendly camel and not, eyes rolling back in the head, about to bite you), but I think I've worked it through.

And this is the last of the 'At the River'  three: I'd wanted to get it finished to put into Studio 12 this saturday when I put the others in, but 'twas not to be.
