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

Was he at a bus welcome somewhere?

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

Looks like a character portrait from 'Disco Elysium'...

I... like it.

Makes it look like the world is on fire which, frankly, it pretty much is.

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.
