Fun Commission!

I was recently asked to do a small commission 
from a snapshot of family members playing in the ocean. 
I panicked because my figures are never "portraits". 
Fortunately, the client was familiar with my work and 
didn't want them to be recognizable. 
She just wanted me to 
"capture the joy of being in the Bahama's together as a family"
"Bahama Beauties"
8 x 8 
SOLD 

This is what I came up with and she was thrilled. 
Now, that is the kind of commission I love!
