I only wish I could paint like Jonathan Yeo !

Red is really unusual in a portrait it does suggest anger maybe old Charles had some burning anger inside .

He's king now but it's all come a bit too late .

Quote from: Michael Rolls on Today at 05:16:25 AMit's rubbish. A portrait is supposed to convey something of the character of the subject. Look at the great portraits, whether photo or painting. Very, very few have a full frontal face devoid of expression - if one can ignore the dominating red paint, it is a passport photo- and not a very good one as the features are somewhat elongated.

he seem to like the full frontal .
It's a difficult one to pull off .
( now I shall make everyone mad ) but I do think this is a good one of his .

Is Northern Ireland still part of the EU  ? 
Is Britain a 'safe' country ? 
We've already taken back 50 asylum seekers from the Republic of Ireland, will they be handing over all the illegals littering Dublin streets ?
