Grafton / HarperColli |
1988 |
"That was the period when the publishers wanted more 'finished' artwork.. . more in the style of the Italian renaissance painters .. so that's what they got....... it is simply a classical style of painting... ..(apart from the fact that she is a model fom the 80s; make up and all)
. i don't know why the scottish castle is in the background...it was nothing to do with James the 1st. ( unless the writer had used it in the fictional story ?)
i had just done this artwork around the same time....So i knew the true history quite well.."
