Details are so great! The baby's hand is so well done. Faces show character and differences of color and form. Each age of the sisters is evident.

Wow, you are talented!! It is quite obviously a painting but still captures much realism. The choice in colors is superb, and the facial expressions are masterfully captured. Being someone who does a lot of art, I know it's EXTREMELY difficult to capture a baby's face. Many artists struggle with it. You though, well you've done it! :D Great job shays1 !

What a cute portrait. The gold wash gives it a feel reminiscent of the old frescoes. Very good lines and detailing. Thanks for sharing
