A PIECE of artwork that offers a modern twist on a classic Royal portrait is coming to a city art gallery.
Castle Galleries, located at thecentre:mk, has taken delivery of the striking royal portrait, which is hand embellished with Swarovski Crystals, to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
The side-profile painting is the work of Royalist and famed British artist Louise Dear. Entitled ‘Our Young Queen’, the artwork will be on display at Castle Galleries from Saturday.
Manager at Castle Galleries Milton Keynes, Peter Viet-Lu, said: “‘Our Young Queen’ shows an innocent, demure and youthful Queen Elizabeth before her sovereignty, set against the backdrop of her kingdom – a Union Jack teamed with an array of flowers and animals, including a queen bee and a regal robin.
“Crafted with the simple ambition to create an exquisite, contemporary and figurative piece of art that is fit for a Queen, enthusiasts of Dear will immediately spot her trademark characteristic stamp on the unique portrait – a playful mix of colour and passion, which is packed full of romance.”
Inspiration for the portrait came from a 1951 photograph taken by Yousaf Karsh, before the young Elizabeth was even crowned.
Devon-based artist, Mrs Dear said: “The feeling of patriotism is so strong this year that I had the desire to create an iconic image that would inspire generations to come.”
Each limited edition print is available to purchase from June 2-10. The print will be available as a limited edition of just 60, priced at £995.

The Painting Company Says Brown is a Popular Paint Color in Atlanta - 24-7PressRelease.com
ATLANTA, GA, May 31, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Many homeowners do not even consider the color brown when choosing paint colors. What they are missing out on is an extremely versatile color that can be used in any room. Brown is classic in any shade and is easily complimented with furnishings. When painting in Atlanta, more homeowners are looking to basic browns for their walls.
Brown is known to be a naturally relaxing color, and for this reason it is a great choice for painting bedrooms. Studies have shown that brown walls in a bedroom may actually promote better sleep. Choose the optimal shade of brown based on the amount of natural light available. Darker shades are acceptable with ample incoming light.
Painting a room brown opens up many possibilities for furnishings and accents. Atlanta painters and decorators think of it as a blank slate where a homeowner can really use their imagination to decorate. Mixing brown shades on walls with bright white trim creates a solid definition that is visually appealing.
Chris Camp, owner of The painting Company in Atlanta, says, "Some homeowners are reluctant at first because they are afraid that painting rooms in their house brown will look drab and boring, but of all the house painting in Atlanta we do, not once has a homeowner been unhappy with the results."
Men particularly tend to gravitate towards the color brown because it is the color of natural elements like wood and leather. It pleases women as well because they are free to accessorize with just about anything that suits their eye.
