I saw Mr. Churchill's image on some news site today and decided: "okey, been wanting to do his portrait, so I may as well today, for Day 29!"  This is what you call a pastel painting, done with Pan Pastels.   measures 8 x 9".

Painted in acrylics on 4 x 4" Clayboard*.
*(finally got used to the nice smooth surface, using to its advantage..ordered some more of this stuff the other day)!

The QUEEN

My first queen, painted, that is. I have sketched them enough times. There is really a lot of fancy details that one must narrow it down in order to get a painting done within a few hours. Pleased thus far, I shall try for a more stylized approach next time!
