Drawing portraits of royalty makes an artist feel
like an angel. One that’s having tea with God. Etiquette is of utmost
importance: carefully weigh your smiles, your words, your brush strokes. Missy
was only a princess at the time. Beautifully young and unawarely Serene she
bowed the first time we met – a short, acknowledging kind of bow. “You are the
artist,” she said. “Then make me your art,” a playful smile stretching across
her face. It was the smile of a princess, but she had the eyes of a Queen. One
I could have drawn till the end of time.
