How fun - congratulations on these assignments!

I remember as a kid being fascinated by Madame Tussaud's in Victoria, British Columbia, especially King Henry VIII and his six wives in wax. I think that moment may have lead to becoming a portrait artist, since I proceeded to read everything written about the Tudors and European history which lead to art history and making copies of Holbein's work.

I look forward to seeing the finished product - very interesting.
