Description
Earlier this year I released a painting called " To Awaken A King", which was based on the High Priestess of Avalon summoning the spirit of King Arthur and the Pendragon back to the living world.
This piece aptly titled: " Death of A King " portrays King Arthur lain for view of his mourners before he is buried. At his side weeping is his beloved Queen.
You might wonder why it is I have a cloth placed over the face of Arthur in this painting. Allow me to explain. I have an odd superstition that does not allow me to paint the faces of living people in the pose of death. Seeing that both models for this work are not only alive and married, I would hardly wish upon anyone to see a picture ( even if it is to portray something else ) of their loved one dead.

It's a lovely picture. A bit empty where the wall is, but still it fits in nicely because it doesn't draw attention away from the center.
I absolutely love the way you did the shadows on her dress. Could you tell me how you did it? Cos i always mess up when i do shadows
