He looks like Han Solo, but embedded in Queerbonite.

Certainly not great. Some of the Queen's portraits were excellent.
Interesting. Hideous. Face and hands are the only things with much detail, everything else is done in shades of red.
Visually it reminds me of some of the work of SF illustrator Kelly Freas.
Obviously some symbolism here. I'm not good with that stuff. Chris Knowles of the Secret Sun Blog is astute with symbols. (Read with discernment.) Will be interesting to see what he might say.

That is truly awful-the artist made him look like a toad wearing clothes-that artist should have been hanged...

He used his familiar impasto, technique, with thick application of paint and a harsh treatment of light. Most his work is like this, roughly rendered, but accurate.It's just that there was nothing whatsoever about the person of Elizabeth R that was troweled on, rough or impressionistic. She projected both feminine and masculine energy as a delicately beautiful woman with a highly unique persona full of gravity, humor, strength, impeccable style, and spirituality at the same time. Light came from within her, not harshly glaring on her surface. She truly deserved the term “majesty.”
To depict her was an opportunity of a lifetime for him to grow beyond his long-established habits—a challenge for an older person to which he failed to rise, instead remaining self-satisfied in his hidebound ego. The result was not accurate; did not convey her essence at all.

I gotta ask... anyone else out there see “Charles III” and whose first thought is that this thread concerns some House of Stuart claimant to the throne? Still not quite used to Chuck as a “Charles (Roman numeral)”
To: rdl6989
Another good one.

It says in the article that it took over THREE years! Takes a while to paint something awful I guess.

Maybe the painters check bounced. after the face part was done.

Less of a carbon footprint when you use one crayon. King Charles III approved.
