Kings Portrait
I can't do links on my phone but what do we think of the new portrait of the King.
Looks like a sea of blood to me..dreadful piece of art.

It makes me look like a damn commie not a Colonel in Chief of the Welsh Guards". I have seen a few other portraits the artist has done and there is no denying he is very talented but I can't think why he painted this.I definitely don't like it

Khandro, did you actually read the article? 4 sittings by the King, and much work in between. Its a rather large canvas.
//Painting a portrait of this size was "quite an operation", says Yeo. Having used his first sittings with the king for photographs and sketches, he did most of the painting between the third and fourth sittings.
He then had to hire a truck to transport the canvas and his equipment to Clarence House for the last time he saw the King.
As well as easel, painting tables and lighting, they had to "cover all the carpets in sheets so we didn't damage these priceless carpets".
Yeo also brought "a dais, a sort of platform, for me to stand on so I was up high enough to paint his face and one for him to stand on so that he's on a level as well".//
