A little while ago, the lovely Rachel from she-makes-pictures
asked if she could paint Queen Michelle and I and asked us to send over some pictures.
We were thrilled and duly sent over some snaps.
I included this one because it shows my favourite vintage emerald green opera coat...
Earlier this week Rachel sent me an email, showing me the finished work. *gasp*
What made it especially wonderful, was she had used gold leaf and sequins in the background. I so love mixed media, it always make everything seem so extra special and magical. As I also said to Rachel (after I had said congratulations, you are clever, thank you) she has somehow managed to make me look almost fine boned and patrician instead of my more normal moonfaced self...
Thank You Rachel

Queen Marie
That looks amazing!
