I find Tudor and Elizabethan Portraits really fascinating. I've been working on a series of self portraits, in oils, appropriating my own image to Queen Elizabeth I. In the lace-work detail, I had the idea to incorporate science using cellular patterns, sacred geometry and stellar maps, acknowledging advances in astronomy and the scientific method by Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler during the Elizabethan period.
A small 12'x14' study of an amalgamation of various Queen Elizabeth portraits I discovered.
