As a caricature this is a nice painting. I swear I see a dog or dragons head in the gray cloud to the upper left of the woman's shoulder. It's nice that they're leaning their heads toward each other. I think you accomplished your goal Very nice

    Aha yes I saw it too. You are the first to mention it. It just appeared after photocopying the original which was half pencil half paint at that time. I couldn't remove it without messing it up. I hope to post the customers painting which is full length and now has a charcoal loose painted background. Thank you so much for reviewing it is much appreciated.

Very nice characature painting. I like the color of the skin tones along with the shading on the couple. Excellent composition and presentation. Good work. Thanks for sharing

This is really cool! I am not sure about the background. I feel like something is missing. Maybe add something other than clouds. Are they supposed to be clouds?

    Lol no they arnt clouds, not meant to be there. In my notes I mentioned I photocopied the original before it was completed and repainted the photocopy which this is. Those black swirls just appeared. The area surrounding the guys on the original was plain white untouched. If you look closely at the swirls I swear I can se a dragon face such is art! The real thing that the customer got has now a washed charcoal background very loosely brushed. I hope to post it one day it's more than head and shoulders. Thanks for reviewing I appreciate your comments.

Your extra work to make this one happen really paid off Brenda.

The caricature of these two really turned out nice. I hope that they were pleased with the results.

Good pose for these two as they lean their heads toward one another.

Great work Brenda ~ Steve

    Thanks Kelly for your review and comments. I am hoping to get a photo of the full length one that these two got and the one of their son, done at Christmas, but I forgot to photo. If I get them I will post also.

Cool. Great story to go with a very well done piece of art. Love the colors. Wonder what the real photographs looked like! Thanks for sharing. See you are relatively new to the site - so welcome aboard. And by the way - it is caricature.

    Hi nice to meet you. I havent come across you before, I will have been a member for 1 year come July, so thank you, your welcome is appreciated. Thank you for reviewing and the correction, I do quite a lot of caricatures and always seem to spell that word wrong. The photos were 4, one of each person individually and then two of them in this type of pose. The painting they got is full length almost and I forgot to photo it for records. If I get a copy I intend to post it along with a
    the one of their son I did at Christmas.

Hi Brenda, I think that this caricature of this couple is adorable, I love the way their heads are tilted toward each other, and the expressions on their faces, he wears a hat that says King , she wears her hair pulled back off of her face, she wears glasses that are very well rendered, she wears a jacket over a shirt, he wears a baseball style pullover, this is very well created and with great colors too! I am positive this couple will treasure this forever! Well presented and I like the bright yellow frame!

    Thanks Pat for your review and comments. I am hoping to catch up with these two as their painting is full length and I forgot to take a photo for my records. I will post the full one if I get it. Also their little boy I did at Christmas and didnt photo, I am quite hopeless sometimes.

Very nice characature of this cute couple. I like the colors and the tilted heads and expressions on their faces. I have one of my brother and one of me we had done as young kids our first visit to Orlando.
I am sure the couple loves this and will hang it proudly in their home.
Nice work Brenda ;)

    Thank you Sange for your review. I had a small one done by a famous cartoonist when I was 6 and still have it. My husband has one when he was 23 done in Spain hanging in our bedroom.

    Ours was just St done on sheet paper in charcoal. My mom had them professionally framed in the 70's. I kept them when I moved to Florida.
    They are special to me since my brother is the bestest friend I have on Earth.
    ;)

This brought a smile to my face Brenda, and reading you notes really put in all into perspectives, love the characters and how the heads are leaning into each other, the expressions seems to be saying that they are posing for a camera whilst looking through a window!
