I decided to paint a portrait of Lizzie Windsor. My reason for doing this is because not enough people have painted her portrait before. I like Lizzie but I'm not sure she will like me when she sees this. I haven't flattered her at all. She ain't bad looking for her age mind you.

Lizzie Windsor by John Bain Oil on canvas 16x12in |
Lizzie Windsor is an attractive woman. I know that many like to make jokes at her expense but she has lived a full life. That leaves traces on one's face and weights on one's body. She should not be falsely flattered but painted in all her glory as you have done very well.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that you captured her zest for life in the twinkle in her eyes.
ReplyDeleteThe dignity and gentleness of your subject has not escaped you. Fine portrait, John.
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I went back and looked at it again. I think it is blooming fantastic!
Love it. Keep on painting, 't would be a shame not to.
ReplyDeleteBlimey, you are a clever clogs. No wonder I took up photography.
ReplyDeleteShe's smiling, so that's the main thing.
