Artist Stephen B. Whatley with his portrait tribute:
HM King Charles III & HM Queen Camilla - Coronation Tribute. 2023. Pictured on October 19, 2023.
Today the original painting was collected from the artist for shipping; acquired by collectors in Miami, Florida, USA.
Stephen wrote a personal signed card of the painting to The King and Queen and was very touched to receive a personal letter from Queen Camilla expressing her liking of the painting.
She wrote: " Dear Stephen, So many thanks for your kind card and exquisite portrait inspired by our Coronation. It is absolutely stunning. I was most assured by your prayers. With best wishes, Camilla R " You can see a photograph of the letter two posts back in this photostream.
The painting was inspired predominantly by screen shots the expressionist painter took from the BBC television broadcast of this year's Coronation and drawing upon studies he personally made in front of the Crown Jewels in the Jewel House in the Tower of London, in 2000; whilst undertaking his Tower of London commission of 30 works.
The artist's vibrant oils are known from his Royal commissions - two paintings of Buckingham Palace for The Royal Collection Trust, painted on location and reproduced in the 1999 and 2000 advertising campaigns for the Summer Opening of The Palace; and a series of 30 paintings for the Tower of London, commissioned in 2000, colourfully charting its Royal history.
The 30 oil paintings are reproduced throughout the pedestrian walkway that leads from Tower Hill Station to Her Majesty's Tower of London - as a permanent art exhibit open daily since March 2001.

* this small watercolor is made as a token of sympathy to friends who's grandchildren were kidnapped four years ago and who have no clue as to how they are faring, It is best viewed on black.
*from a selection of sketches, drawings and portraits of people known to artist, their dreams, anxieties and life styles as perceived by artist. Sketchbooks are the diaries artists carry in their heads until put on paper, they are made entirely from the stuff we carry in our heads, they are not copies of other people's art and are not made to please anyone except artist who may or my not use them in future for the making of art. They are neither good or bad; I don't even know if they can be categorized as art, all i know they are revealing to what we feel within ourselves and what we think of those that have influenced our art. The portraits are not as they or the world sees them but as we perceive them to be. In short they are nothing but impressions of them at the moment which can often change within minutes or hours. There are some of course who never change for the better or worse. When viewing set, should anyone be interested in the character or image drawn, you are welcome to question them in my comment box and I will gladly answer your queries.
Thank you!
p.s. I am posting them with the intend of publishing several hundred of them in a art book with notations on how some of them evolved into paintings, most of which appeared subconsciously.
from the opera, act three: Maria Schwedler' s apparition of the "\Witch of Streckelberg"; my interpretation. /as per request/ This is my last attempt; previous proving unsuccessful, was posted on my stream under same title last month.

Edvard Munch (1863–1944) was one of the most famous Expressionist Norwegian painters. His style, known as symbolism, which mainly focused on life, love, anxiety, and loneliness played a significant role in the late 20th-century art, especially in German expressionism. The dark color and somber tones, the exaggerated forms, and the contrasting lines in his designs portrayed his psychological state. His most iconic artwork, The Scream (1893), which depicts the agonized face and radical expressions, symbolizes anxiety, one of human's most common psychological conditions.

This simple yet beautiful painting was inspired by the "sinking maiden: by one of my favorite playwrights and poets Bertold Brecht, written before becoming a Marxist and joining the Loyalists in the civil war of Spain. It is important to note, for I am convinced that had he written this poem after his becoming an Marxist, the poem would have been filled with "hope" and the possibilities life has to offer, in other words "the breath of fresh air" I have taken the liberty to describe in my rendering.
I offer the poem as it was written; in German, with my translation into english.
I have also the Spanish version which was censored by the state for it's negativeness, which for the times it was written is perfectly understandable.
"Vom Ertunkenen Madchen"
Als sie ertuken war und hinunterschwamm
Von den Bachen in die grosseren Flusse,
Schien der Opal des Himmels sehr wundersam,
Als ob er die Leiche gegutingen musse.
Tang und Algen hielten sich an ihr ein.
So das sie langsam viel schwerer ward.
Kuhl die Fische schwammen an ihrem Bein,
pflanzen und Tiere beschwerten noch ihre lezte fahrt.
Und der Himmel ward abends dunkel wie Rauch
Und hielt nachts mit den Sternen das Licht in Schwebe.
Aber fruh war es hell, dass es auch
Noch fur sie Morgen and Abend gebe.
Als ihr bleicher Leib im Wasser verfault war.
Geschah es /sehr langsam/, dass Gott sie allmahlich vergass,
Erst ihr Gesicht, dann die Hande und zulezt erst ihr Haar.
Dann ward sie Aas in Flussen mit vielem Aas.
Bertold Brecht, 1927
"The maiden"
When she was drowned and floated down
From the creeks into the larger rivers,
The opal of heaven /he means the sun/ shone most
marvelously,
As if it felled compelled to
to appease the corpse.
Seaweed and algae clang to her,
So that slowly she became
much heavier.
Cold swam the fish around her
Plants and animals burdened even her last journey.
And the skyin the evening
became as dark as smoke
And at night
held the lightin suspension with the stars.
But in the early hours it /he means the sky/
was light, so that
There would still be morning and evening even for her!
When her pale body had rotted in the water, / hate these pre Marxist negative phrases/
It happened very slowly, /why to say that?/
that God gradually forgot her,
First herher face, than her hands and only at the very last her hair.
Than she became carrion in the rivers with lots of carrion.
Bertold Brecht, 1927

* from photograph with handwritten note on back: "SS Gruppenfuhrer,Dr.Prof. Carl Clauberg in Russischer gefangenschaft" from artist's collection. The infamous doctor and professor of gynecology earned his nickname "the beast" for the horrific experiments he conducted on mostly jewish women inmates at various concentration camps. Hundreds of "volunteer" inmates who "consented' to sterilization suffered unbearable pain when they received the "treatment" by having Dr.Clauberg pour liquid acid into their uterus without anesthetics. Several hundred were outright killed by his orderlies so they could be autopsied. There were many other horrific crimes of a sexual nature,committed by "the beast" the well deserved nickname given him by his peers!
The painting was part of my doctors of death exhibit held at the Texas State University art gallery in 1985. A slide presentation and several lectures followed.

p.s. on a note of interest; the composition of this simple painting has taken several weeks of different layouts and color schemes to produce; it is the result of watching hundreds of vhf clips of this poets life on television, having read all his books and those about him so I feel I have produced a painting of some substance. I am hoping to be able to concentrate more on substance paintings than on rehashed travelogues of my past lives. All I ask of you friends, is to take a deeper look and see the tragic turns of where our lives are heading as well.
*only remaining drawing from my set titled: "welcome to my nightmare" This set was on exhibit at the Winchester Gallery mid 1970's; the above was withdrawn.
"#21, part of my brush drawing collection spanning over some 30 years and consisting of several thousand drawings and prints.*these have never been shown before. All are drawn on arches paper and in spite of aging are in excellent condition. Hope you will enjoy them as much as we revisit them after all these years
thank you!
p.s. I will number them for my own record keeping; they are not in order for some are private and others may not be suitable for viewing for all ages.
*most of my work during those earlier years was initiated by events taken from my childhood. As the works progressed they took on a life of their own. At first I worked on easels, later on the floor. In my youth I was able to paint as many as a dozen paintings a nigh, some of my best works were done on the floor when running out of canvas rolls or paper.

*from my new set in progress, titled: "violencia domestica" www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXOlG20bO9A&list=PLB0BA090C8E...
* from a set of several paintings in progress inspired by a posting by she wolf titled: "the lace behind the door" and a poem titled: "windows to the soul" by Carol Wiebe. In the set i am attempting to depict an artist's rental studio that transforms itself into the soul of the artist hiding nothing. A room where only ghosts are given free reign during nights and where the morning sun chases them away and all becomes strangely tranquil.
"Windows to the soul"
Has the truth been told?
Or have the words been carefully chosen
to match
what others expect to hear?
If we were not afraid,
if we could fling open our doors and windows,
throw away the curtains,
and live transparently.
Carol Wiebe, may 22, 2011
p.s. Carol Wiebe and she wolf's art maybe seen on flickr. on their sites

as per Bartou Ferreira's poem "comendou fruta agena"
the above rendering is the first of a new series inspired by the poetry of this great composer and poet who's work I have recently rediscovered in my vast collection of junk, memorabilia and other "stuff' of my youth.
have not been able to find any of his poetry on you tube but will try to translate on my net set.

*In 1931, Garcia Lorca describes "cante jondo" thus:
The "cante jondo" approaches the rhythm of the birds and the natural music of the black poplar and the waves; it is simple in oldness and style. It is also a rare example of primitive song, the oldest of all Europe, where the ruins of history, the lyrical fragment eaten by the sand, appear live like the first morning of its life. The illustrious Falla, who studied the question attentively, affirms that the gypsy "siguiriya" is the song type of the group "cante jondo" and declares that it is the only song on our continent that has been conserved in its pure form, because of its composition and its style and the qualities it has in itself, the primitive songs of the oriental people.
