Prince of Wales feathers

Prince of Wales feathers

I once painted this in gouache and ink for Prince Charles. He was visiting the museum I worked at and I did this kind of thing for visiting dignitaries in our Visitors Book. He liked it apparently. It is a lovely coast of arms and a joy to paint.
It was a lot easier and much faster to do on the iPad! There was also much less cleaning up to do.
(For you #fp13 folk, there is some orange in the feathers.)

T.E. Lawrence, 1919 (my other TEL repro)

T.E. Lawrence, 1919 (my other TEL repro)

Original also by Augustus John. He did several quick sketches like this on paper. The NPG (UK), All Souls College & Harvard have them. I sought permission to borrow the NPG work, but they said "it needed a rest". I saw the work at All Souls, but could not verify it was an original at the time. (It is.) It was too difficult to borrow the work from Harvard and I left it too late to ask. I love these sketches because they are so simple, yet say so much about Lawrence. John was a gifted artist.
I did this very quickly using Adobe Ideas.

I borrowed the original by Augustus John from the Tate for an exhibition I curated about 5-6 years ago. He painted the original at the Paris Peace Conference after the First World War.
I reproduced this version at home in Camperdown after swim coaching one Saturday morning. Much less salubrious.
