It was a good one, glad I saw it. Quite right to delete it as it was in reasonably poor taste.

Use this as an example of how we are being played?

Re: King Charles III Watch
I'd still send the lot of them to the guillotine, obviously, but at least we'd have some decent artwork to remember them by.

Re: King Charles III Watch
I put a neutral overlay on the background, the first thing that becomes clear is that the clothing itself actually *is* part of the background - you can see that there’s lower contrast and definition than you’d expect, even when it isn’t sitting against a background of the same colour.
That being the case, it’s not so much a decision to make the background the same colour as the clothing, it’s as if to say that the clothing - which in the case of a portrait of a monarch is used to represent status - is taking a back seat to the human being - so I guess the artist is trying to say he’s painting the man, not the monarchy

Re: King Charles III Watch
I assumed it was blood from centuries of killing dripping from his Royal hands, the Royal sausage fingers unable to contain the flow despite their thickness.

Re: King Charles III Watch
I reckon the artist has f*cked it up somehow, so decided to just cover it up by painting the whole thing red.

Re: King Charles III Watch
It looks like he's already been sent to the guillotine, the severed head floating in a pool of blood. Whilst just off shot, the decapitated lizard body still twitches as it begins the process of growing a new noggin.
Re: King Charles III Watch
Face is wonderful but I keep on being reminded of Sutherland's portrait of Winston Churchill, one that Churchill disliked so much he never hung it anywhere and eventually destroyed it. We'll probably never know what Charles really thinks of it.

Re: King Charles III Watch
Monarchs have always commissioned portraits, it's standard practice for these ****s.
