It was my pleasure to present my commissioned portrait of Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II of Denmark to her Majesty at Gråsten Palace. It was a private meeting with the Queen (therefore no photographs of the event) We had lovely conversation after Her Majesty had unwrapped the portrait.
Cute little watercolours
Our home Harbaeks Courtyard (Harbæksgaard) has undergone exciting major renovations these past 6 months.

Katherine, I am a fan. I must say that I’ve been following you for not long, maybe a year or two… I really appreciate your whispy elongated figures…I instantly recognize it is you….but, when you paint in this style, your talent shines! These bold “portraits” offer the viewer some challenges! I am so intrigued by the drape of the fabric (I can hear the ruffling of the fabric) around a full body, but then that green gloved hand flattens out (as does her face) so, for me, it offers some sense of surrealism (intended or not) that creates a story. I think you’re in your true element in this piece, it goes beyond a pretty picture.
