current portrait

This is B & E, a brother and sister. About 4 years ago, their mom had me draw them sitting in their yard. Now she wants a piece to go with the previous one, so we walked all around the yard, and the same setting was still the best. We changed the background this time, and of course B & E look different!  The verdict isn’t in quite yet; there may be a few more little changes, but this is the portrait at this time.  A funny thing happened 4 years ago. While drawing B, I made his jaw a little too square and his neck a little too wide, and instead of a 14 year old, there was a very handsome 18 year old! Of course I made the adjustments, but here we are 4 years later, and this time my accidental prediction is true. With E, she was beautiful then, and she is even more so now.
