According to votes by our readers, the saucy painting which was done in commemoration of festivities marking Queen Elizabeth's record as the longest-reigning British monarch, the painting was found to be in poor taste.

 

Incidentally it was a close call as 39% of the total votes cast were in favour of the painting's creativity, while 46% found it to be in bad taste and the remaining 15% of voters were indifferent.

Pegasus, who is a popular London street artist, revealed that the painting "took a little over two weeks, two days to draw, a day to cut and three hours to paint" , adding that he chose to do it because he wanted to honour the queen's beauty and also portray her in a way that she has never been seen before.

He clearly succeeded on portraying her differently but it doesn't seem to have struck a chord with the people.

Last Wednesday September 9th, Queen Elizabeth became the longest reigning British monarch surpassing the record set by her great-grandmother, Queen Victoria with a total of 23,226 days, 16 hours and 18 minutes - over 63 years, seven months and two days."
