Josie Carlie and Eddy, dyptic

Linda, this is a very good work!
The diptych is not such a straight forward thing as you make it appear! I really like the idea of having two on one side and one on the other, it avoids a dangerous symmetry.
The painting is extremely successful, and not only as a portrait !

I agree. And you've done a lovely job of the textures and colors of the outdoor setting.

Can you tell us a little about how you and the client settled on this arrangement? Did the client give you carte blanche? Did you discuss the topic of who would get what eventually before you began the painting? I think many of us would be interested to hear how this came about.

Linda--

Wonderful paintings! I saw a similar arrangement at a client's several years ago, except it was three kids on three separate canvases in one frame, so they could inherit the paintings later as adults. What makes it work well is when there is a common horizon, as in yours.

Wish I'd thought of it....

Another lovely and fresh job. You certainly have a look that is all your own. And as Tom wrote:
