I’m still feeling historical, but a creative urge has now joined the mix, so I decided to have a go at painting a right royal portrait.
So, I painted and I tweaked. I tweaked and I painted. I coloured and recoloured. And tweaked.
And painted.
And tweaked again.
And lightened and darkened.
I had a drink.
And started again.
Eventually, I was kind of happy with the result, although the playing card look wasn’t exactly what I was going for. That said, the King of Diamonds is still a historical figure, so I can live with it.
I shall be reinventing other historical figures over time… I’m merely exploring history, that’s all. And my creative side.
