So for me, to read today that his skeleton was found and his DNA analyzed.... well, it is really exciting! What a coincidence!
This is my sketch for today.... not so great, but maybe if I paint it it will look better:
This is my daughter's digital work. She had homework so she was in a hurry:
This is the image of Richard III:

My fascination with history was a little seed well planted by my History teacher in sigh school, and I thank her for it, even if at the time it was a chore hehehe

It's an amazing story about the discovery of his bones. You picked a good face for today and you did a great job with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks you! I'm not quite happy with it, but maybe with color it will be ok
DeleteEnjoyed your and your daughter's faces. I've entered your 29 Faces 2013 challenge. Didn't know where to comment on the 29 Faces blog, but I added my link to the list of participants.
ReplyDeleteCommenting here is fine too; you can post under the regular posts, but not the Linky page. So happy that you are joining us!
DeleteI have been reading an Art History text for the past month or so and now I am addicted to learning more about the links between art and artists and the world history events that inspired them. I am now in the 17th century in Europe. Like you said most of the paintings were smooth and polished, but I have been pleased to discover that here and there were the rebels who painted their own way. They saw things differently and interpreted it as such. Long before the Impressionists banded together and changed the art world forever.
ReplyDeleteIt is awesome isn't it? So much to learn... and drool over! Some of the very old, still look like they were painting this year, which tells me, we either have not advance that much, or they were way beyond their time ;o)
DeleteReally wonderful!!!
