Sandhurst Trust asked me to come up with some designs for cards of the Hall Porter at Old College, RMA Sandhusrt.

This portrait is a bit different as it is an oil painting which is not my normal medium. The original painting is quite small 5” x 7” and depicts the Hall Porter on duty in his uniform with top hat. It was interesting painting the uniform and contrasting that with the shiny top hat. In the background is the painting of Queen Elizabeth ll with Princes William and Harry on the steps of Old College on their passing out parade. On the left of the painting there is a peek of Prince Harry posing as a trumpeter and the legs of the then Prince Charles, now King Charles. The Duke of Edinburgh and Duchess of Cornwall are also in the original painting which hangs in the entrance hall at Old College. The two Princes did not graduate in the same year so this painting involves a bit of artistic licence.
