Well, Arthur would wear it hidden away inside his clothes, so you wouldn't see it. (The Elizabethians would wear miniatures on display pinned to their sleeves, but I couldn't see Arthur doing that. *G*)

I WANT to paint something this weekend...but I have no ideas whatsoever. *sigh*

That is absolutely incredibly beautiful - such an amazing likeness \0/ You are very talented :-)

Would you have a go at painting Arthur? Because that would just about make my life...*g*

Awwww, thank you so much! :)

I have had previous goes at painting Arthur, (you've probably already seen these.)

I'm doing two Merlin paintings next, (but I'm going to do those simultaneously), then it'll probably be back to Arthur again.

Thanks so much for the links :-) (I actually hadn't seen these) - the paintings are wonderful: the one of Arthur alone is just gorgeous - his face, the armour! - and the one of Arthur with Merlin is so beautiful: you have captured a particular expression of Bradley's here which I especially love; I shall definitely be following your work from now on ♥

Awww, thanks. There are also these, but they're old and a bit crap. I'm planning on doing more Athur stuff and hopefully it WILL be better the more practise I get.

Thanks so much - definitely not crap! I love the sense of intimacy in the one where Merlin's holding the candle - beautiful colouring and the way Arthur's thumb is touching Merlin's lips is just so erotic; I think you've got a very good likeness of their faces in the second one and the stained glass window is just amazing - love the story behind it: Merlin's pose and expression speak volumes and there is such a sense of future anguish here with Arthur immobile and turned away from Merlin :-(

Can't wait to see anything new that you do - especially Arthur! ♥

Awww, thanks so much. And thanks for the really smashing in-depth comment, I really appreciate it! <3
