This is my first commission with four subjects!  It was a lot of work!  A painting with multiple subjects like this is basically like painting multiple paintings, but trying to make them work on the same page.  This means that you have to take into account proportion, lighting, overlap, and shadows.  All of this makes for a challenging piece!  But, like always, I had a lot of fun, and I love how this turned out.  The recipient was also very happy :)
