Paint Party Friday - The Duchess

Prince William and Kate visited Canada this week and on Canada Day, I loved the maple leaf fascinator she wore on her head. It inspired my portrait based on the many photographs of her that were in the newspaper. They are leaving today and it sounds like they had a wonderful time and have promised to be back.

Please be sure to stop by the other Paint Party Friday participants!

I can't imagine all the thought that must have gone in to the wardrobe she is wearing all over the world careful not to offend just make people smile ;0) and your version looks beautiful

I think your sketch is just great! I could never wear a hat like that though. It is a nice hat, but I bet she really doesn't want to wear hats. tee hee. great job, Happy PPF!

This portrait is amazing! I LOVE that she's smiling wide and you were able to capture her spirit. Very nice.

Great job on the portrait. I keep wondering how they manage to keep those hats in place. What happens on windy days, I wonder.
