Now visiting the US, he says, \u201cI was terrified. Six months to complete it and only one-hour sessions with her. She was involved in every decision \u2014 even what diamonds to pick and she consulted with Prince Philip \u2018on which robe to wear.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was intense.

The silvery hair is a characteristic element. Like a helmet the way it\u2019s sculptural and structured. I used a 17th century technique and how the Old Masters built up their canvasses to create these effects. I worked from a dark background to build up the lights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A) The guy got paid.
