Soooooo, What do you think of it? Personally I think it's awful.  :downvote: It's excellent on the face, but all that red.  :wtf: Shudder.

I only saw it briefly on TV. it looked very odd to me. I wasn't even convinced the face looked right.

Alex

Awful, I wonder why he agreed to this ?

I like the face. Reminds me of his mum. Don't understand all the red though.
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

perhaps it's to reflect the nation's financial state?
Thank you for the days, the days you gave me

Ha ha 🤣

I am a big fan of the artist Jonathan Yeo 
The face is amazing 
For a man who has had such a pampered existence it looks old and worn .
It is IMO a great likeness 
I am not sure about all that red .
It's certainly controversial

A brilliant likeness and I really rate the expression in red, very clever. Thinking of Charlie-boy though ~ perhaps it should have been green?

I'm sure he'll appreciate it though ...

I think it is brilliant..
The face in a sea of red just shows a man.. No crowns or robes.. Very powerful yet discreet ..
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

The red irritates me a bit - what does it stand for, what does it want to say to us?

Raven

It reminds me of a once lovely painting that the mad "Stop Oil Lot" have chucked paint over.  :shh:

It will save them the bother .

I think one infantile lot are busy spraying red paint over Barclays Bank at the moment .

Not that I have any time for Barclays Bank but mindless graffiti in our towns and cities is ugly and disfiguring ,

These people need to spend time in the stocks .

Great painting.  The red reminds me of a Clint Eastwood film (High Plains Drifter).

Perhaps the artist could be commissioned to do Trump's portrait.  Can't imagine what colour would be suitable for his background 😬

muddy

I saw that film 
It was where he had them paint the entire town red .,
