Here's
Queen 5 in my series of Tudor Queens :)

"Catherine Howard
married Henry VIII on 28 July 1540, almost immediately after the
annulment of his marriage to Anne of Cleves was arranged. However,
she was beheaded after less than two years of marriage to Henry on
the grounds of treason for committing adultery while married to the
King."
(quoted from Wikipedia)

Since she met the same
fate as Anne Boleyn, I painted her being haunted or chased by Anne's
ghost. Perhaps you've heard stories about sightings of the ghost of
Anne Boleyn? Her Wikipedia article cites a few. I don't believe in
ghosts, but I believe in making paintings spooky :D

And I hate
painting buildings. It's the most tedious and boring task there is,
at least for me. The painted Hampton Court in the background was
really an exercise in stamina.

Time: about 10-20h
Medium:
Photoshop + Wacom tablet
100% hand painted with love by yours
truly!
