Description
The Sacrifice of Elizabeth the FirstI recently watched the movie "Elizabeth" starring Kate Blanchett, and was compelled to do a painting of the Queen. She sacrificed her entire life to England, was known as The Virgin Queen, and her reign known as The Golden Years.

I love both 'Elizabeth' and 'Elizabeth: The Golden Age'. The portrayal of the queen I thought was not only accurate, but sort of...heart felt and evoking. I think this painting captures the same sorrow she might have felt as well as the divine presence she seemed to give off (considering she had a cult or two dedicated to her as a Virgin Mary like Goddess).

Thanks! It's a well-executed piece considering in my own personal experience, even when I thin it out with turpentine, using oils is like painting with mayonnaise...

Mayonnaise? Why I use the water soluable oils... they thin out like water color if you like. However, even in their natural state, they are quite thin and nimble on the canvas.

Where have I been? I had no idea water soluble oils existed. Thanks for the tip!

A great tribute to Elizabeth I. There's no doubt when seeing it who and what it shows. Loving the colour choices, slightly sinister and telling of passion.

I really love this, your representation is wonderful. Oh and it's "The Golden Age," not "The Golden years."
