Indeed Nellie! And September is not thet far after all... And here in Perth the twister and crazy wind season will be over by then...lol.. In any case, i cannot wait to see the painting. I really love the style of the artist and it will be very interesting how he is depicting Her Magesty. --Previous Message-- : : Different angles and reports in different : newspapers. : The setting the artist will be adding is top : secret. : : : --Previous Message-- : After reading an article in The Australian : this Monday, it seems it will be a very : relaxed portrait all about inner self and : showing a more personal view of HM. Not : sure how he will achieve this with a one : hour sitting. I am not holding my breath for : lots of jewels and formal decorations but we : never know. : : --Previous Message-- : : : --Previous Message-- : : Today's press has news of a portrait!!
