Many of us will perhaps have been surprised how upset we felt at the news of the Queen’s death. 

I felt a strong urge to draw the Queen yesterday, and spent the morning in the attempt.  The Queen was a small woman – and seemed to delight and charm all who met her, so seemed fitting for today’s post. 

Getting a likeness is always difficult, especially of someone familiar. I hope you will forgive my poor efforts, but I wanted to post something. Perhaps the brightness of eye, stance, earring and wonderful hat is enough.

May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

God save the King.
