Her expression (no pun intended) says "I can see just how this one is going to turn out, another dead loss". Poor woman!
New "expressionist" portrait of Queen Elizabeth II
Whoever it was they had a few pints first.....or maybe it was the woman who did the chapel painting restoration a few months back
Ceri, I see the resemblance. All she needs is a uniform. I wonder if a Rugby referee painted this?
Looks like Muammar Gaddafi with a white wig on
Hmmmm...
I took my 9 year-old granddaughter to an art museum this past weekend and she was quite enjoying herself. When we came upon the Expressionist Gallery she stood there speechless looking about with a strange "expression" on her face (hence the name?). Not wanting to say the wrong thing I explained that expressionist art sometimes looks best when viewed from a distance. "Up close, it can look a bit...a bit...pixelated." Without a word she immediately she began backing up across the gallery, through a doorway, then another gallery, then another until she was standing at the far end of a hallway gazing at the portrait in front of me. She shrugged and walked back across the museum to where I was waiting. "Still doesn't look good..." she said.
I didn't tell her but THAT was sort of my feeling too. I braced myself because the next gallery was dedicated to modern art.
The portrait above was commissioned by the Welsh Rugby Union:
