Portrait of a King

For some time now, I've been wanting to take up painting. Apparenty, in my dreams, I'm starting with portraiture... of a King. Of what country, you ask? Dunno. He was a large, stocky, thick man, and somewhat dirty from his battles. His head was covered with long, brown dreadlocks, crusty with mud. Lying on his left side, he covered his naked body with a sheet, exposing skin here and there..enough to tantilize, but not embarrass. Later his wife would be posing, lying on her right side, with her feet touching her husbands. I would paint it as one picture, although they posed at different times. I never saw here; I just knew it was the plan. There was more that followed this, but it has since faded in my mind.
