A life extraordinary, Queen Elizabeth II, acrylic, enamel and ink on canvas.
Some people are born into extraordinary lives, and whether you agree or disagree with royalty the life of Elizabeth Windsor has been extraordinary...the people she has met, the history she has made and the legacy which she leaves accounts for a life which has been shaped and restricted by the confines of tradition, but a life also blessed with huge privilege. I am of the opinion that all lives, whether written in history like Queen Elizabeth II, or forgotten by history, all suffer and love in equal measure.....have beauty and trauma, feel sad and happy. Although a queen, at the end of the day she was a woman trying her hardest to get through life as unscathed as possible....just like the rest of us....but what an extraordinary life.
