I hadn’t planned on painting the Coronation. It clashed with a murder mystery dinner party for Lisa’s birthday. But after being repeatedly asked by people if I was going to be there, I figured I could squeeze both events into one day . . .
What could possibly go wrong?
It’s been ages since I’ve done one of these, what with one thing or another, but I’m excited to be leading a painting holiday to Rome this summer.
It’s become something of a tradition in the Brown household for me to paint an interior and family portrait entitled ‘Christmas, Combe Park’.
I was walking the dog in Bath in the early morning of 9th September, the day after the Queen died, and it suddenly occurred to me I should be at Buckingham Palace, so I headed quickly home and jumped into the van. I did five paintings of the public’s reaction to the proceedings over the following ten days until the funeral.
