I think you should paint him a "real" portrait.

Which one is the real gentleman?
No contest - it's Prince Philip. If the worst he can say is "Gadzooks", well, that's princely behavior, for sure.

The portrait has that caricature illustrative look that you might find in a popular news magazine, created to go with a story to make a point. I don't find that type of illustration necessarily a bad thing in fact it can be quite flattering and directly to the point. It all depends on how you look at it.

I like it. Just for the reasons Steven stated. Personally, I would not do that kind of painting for anyone of stature. The worse part to me is not the painting - but that the bug represents 'decaying flesh' - that is kind of....rude.

Kim, the fly is also typical English humor. I agree with Steven, and got a real chuckle when I saw it ( sometimes I have a strange sense of humor). Someday I'll write a little tribute to my father and his warped sense of humor. I find strange little things to delight in everyday.
