Description

I’m very proud of this private commission I finished at the end of 2014. It features Thomas Cranmer and his wife Margaret (a German lady whom he married secretly), flanked by his patrons Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.

The size is 18 x 24; the medium is acrylic on wood. I used Old Holland acrylic, which is some of the best paint I've ever worked with. The vibrancy and richness of the pigment is really amazing.

 Mrs Cranmer is clearly far more disconcerted by His Majesty at her husband's shoulder than the latter is by Mistress Anne's presence at Mistress Margaret's back ... (the old rascal!).

 By the way, please accept my compliments on your continuing Good Work; please pardon my delusions of Humour.Giggle
