Hello dear Steemians,


 

As many of you living in stable in both political and economical country we do not care much about the sittings of our Government and we sometimes do not know much what rules and regulations are made unless they somehow involves us directly.

So we were until Brexit time, coming from Germany the political scene and parties are different, in the past I had no idea how it is running in Westminster and who is Mr. Speaker until very recent turbid events. Slowly but surely we learnt a lot and especially in such hot situation there is obvious how politician using all methods to steer the mood of people and their decision. Even sometimes if they have to lie and behave themselves like children in kindergarden. I am glad that there is a Speaker who is the senior person who is controlling all this chaos.

 

Current Mr. Speaker is John Bercow and I believe recently he is well know everywhere due to two things:

  • Because of his various way of calling for “Order” and because of his really wise and respectful expressions in any difficult situations. He belongs to conservative party but very popular among opposition too, therefore was elected and re-elected multiple times and remained a Speaker for 10 years.
  • Because he announced to leave his post by 31 of October 2019, again seeing the videos in youtube you may noticed how the opposition supports him but not his own party, that is really a shame.
 

My today’s attempt to draw Mr. Speaker and also I am attaching little link to the video about his for those who never heard about Mr. John Bercow:

Thank you @tya.saputry for your nice words and it is nice to hear you like my work :)

I cannot say that i know him but i really enjoy the video. It looks like good british comedy,lol. Brexit is a very serious event, it will effect all of the global economy and so far i am seeing being treated as a joke. Both from the side of England and from the side of EE. I hope order and not chaos win in the end:)

Agree with you George, many hope for the best, nobody knows what is going to happen. Actually I have to apply for Indefinite leave to remain permission, if it will be no-deal case then we have to have such ID as European.

I must say it is right that British parliament nowadays looks like comedy show, nevertheless htere are many good politician who really deserve support too.

Politicians sometimes use their power against the wishes of the masses which is very bad.

Your first paragraph is related to art work am currently working on for the CryptoArt contest.

The pastel work is really amazy. Giving it a brownish background to reveal his gray hairs.

Fantastic work on this one. You've captured his expression perfectly. He looks so funny. 😂

Thank you @trinkowski for your comment, that was a difficult drawing because of that expression on the face have never done before :)

Great pastel portrait. Thank goodness for John Bercow. He’s very democratic and pro European unlike the current British Govt 💭.

Thank you @fleur, nice to see you and hear your opinion. I can imagine what you mean, it must be difficult for him to be in the middle of that battle pro and contra but he at the end did everything right :)

인물화에는 표정이 중요한데 말하는 입모양이 특히 잘됐어요

You are right mouth is quite important part of the portrait, that is why takes me a lot of time. Thank you for your nice comment :)

(google-translator) 오른쪽 입은이 인물 사진에서 매우 중요한 부분이므로 시간이 많이 걸립니다. 좋은 의견 주셔서 감사합니다 :)

This got me engaged for a long time. And i must say nice pictures there
