katie and beth

I went to church this morning but I think I need to go again. I said so many foul words while I was trying to get a likeness of these girls that my dog left the room. It is finally in the ball park and is going to have to do. These cuties are the twin daughters of my friend Kathy. I painted her other set of twins a few months ago. You heard that right. No fertility drugs either. This set is in their middle twenties now. Their posture in this painting is a little representative of their personalities. Beth, on the right, has a little attitude and swagger and Katie, on the left, is always on stage. I mean that in the nicest way. Great personalities and girls.
This was commissioned by their grandmother. Only two more grandchildren to go. This is painted on an 11 x 14" linen canvas.
