Can you tell what it is yet?

BBC

Quote:

The Queen is to have her portrait painted by Rolf Harris as part of her 80th birthday celebrations.

She will have a formal sitting with the Australian entertainer for a Rolf on Art special for BBC One. Harris said he was "thrilled to bits".

When the BBC put the idea to Buckingham Palace, they were told the Queen would be delighted to take part.

She will celebrate her 80th birthday next April and the show will go out later this year or in early 2006.

This may even be an improvement on some of the "protraits" that artists have been paid good money to do.

Why does she look like shes 345 thousand million years old and just come out of a vacumn chamber after being shoved in with rabid dogs and lived in dog crap for the time?

I don't mind Lucien Freud, but I rate Rolf very highly. Too many people think of him as a cartoonist, but he's so much more talented than that. There's a gallery of his work in Bristol - highly recommended and not that expensive.
