A Jubilee Pageant Painting
Jun. 12th, 2012 08:42 pmI decided to have a go at a Jubilee painting. I did most of it over the weekend, but I've been filling in detail off and on since. It does look better in real life (it's 2ft square so you can't really see the detail in this photo) but here it is anyway.
