It's good, but could have used a different background colour. I can't imagine it's one he will hang in his office. |  |

I know jack about Art, but I think the colour is the clever bit, along with his kindly face. |  |

I really like it. Think it’s really effective - bravo to the artist for being brave and Charles deserves praise for not demanding a more traditional portrait.
Oh, abolish the monarch, bring on the republic. |  | | |

There's definitely a 'fire' thing going on. Wonder if you're actually right or partially right at least? | |

To be honest, partially right is very good for me, so I'll take that, ta! | |

Not sure it represents good value for the taxpayer.
But the portrait is okay | | | |

Apparently the red of his jacket would have stolen the eye had it been a bland background. So in that respect I suppose it’s quite clever, as his face is very much the focal point.
I know jack about art too. It amazes me that a few brush strokes can capture expressions perfectly. If I tried he’d be unrecognisable as a person.
Best picture of an adulterer I’ve even seen  .

This probably is good value, as unlike a lot of public procurement lately I bet it wasn’t done through a middle man from his local pub or men’s club who added a 500% markup. There’s also something fit for purpose at the end to. | |

If the portrait were for a rock singer's album cover... okay.
As a one-off portrait of the king... awful. |  |

Great picture, and agree with others about the clever background colour, but to me his appearance is made rather more attractive than it is in reality.
I suppose you could say that conforms historically with portraits of the monarchy, but to me it detracts from the success of the painting. |  |

Even with the 2 for 1 deal on the ruby red dulux at homebase, I'm still glad the public didn't pay for this back patting. |  | | |
