The Bowman Women; A Work In Progress

I thought I was going to wait till this was done to post a picture of it, but I'm beginning to think I'll
never get it quite right.  This is the first time I've attempted to paint 4 faces that I know really well all on one canvas.  One moment 3 of us look pretty close, then a day later I've screwed someone up and like a different face.  It's still stiffer than I'd like it.  I'm afraid I'm going to mess with it to loosen it up and ruin the things I like about it.
It began as a black and white, but it slowly progressed to a sepia toned painting, then it begged for color.
 Debbie lost her right eye more than once.  Sorry Deb.

My apologies to my sisters and Mom for any strokes that offend you.
