What a wonderful painting - if it were inside the cover of Rolling Stone!!
I only hope he wasnt trying for a flattering look, like we portrait artists always try to do.
I'll give it its due on artistic merit, but none as a portrait.
Can you imagine giving someone a gift that essentially says, 'this is how ugly you are!' (not that I'm saying the Queen is ugly, just that this painting would make her appear so)
