The portraits on show draw from members and non-members alike. This year, we received in the region of 1,900 portraits from our digital submission, with a final 91 making it onto the walls. It is also my pleasure to introduce myself as the new President of the RP. I have been exhibiting with the RP since the nineties and in 2008 was elected to membership. I became a Council member in 2009 and have sat on the People’s Portraits Standing Committee at Girton since 2010. I’m a practising portrait painter and I lecture at the National Portrait Gallery and National Gallery. My ambition for the Society as President, is to continue to build on our history and strong reputation for high quality commissioned portraiture and share our knowledge and experience through education. Management, we are able to offer workshops during our show in the excellent Learning Centre at the Mall Galleries. We are delighted to be able to continue to award our generous and established prizes. Congratulations go to our 2014 prizewinners. We are, as ever, grateful for the generosity of our sponsors’ support and belief in the Society’s remit. This year we have also been able to add Burke’s Peerage Foundation. These prizes are valuable to the recipients, many of whom establish higher profiles from being showcased in this way. 2014 saw the Bulldog Bursary awarded to Emma Hopkins. Emma, along with 2013 recipient, Sarah Jane Moon, has an exhibition during the show in the Mall Galleries’ Learning Centre. On behalf of the Society, I would like to thank Alastair Adams for his direction and leadership over the last six years. Alastair gave us a fine new website and a new image. His enthusiasm and very hard work helped to guide the Society through difficult economic times. Thanks also go to Andy James for his work alongside Alastair as Vice President over his term. Michael Taylor stepped down from the Council on completion of his two-year rotation and his contribution is greatly appreciated. Robin-Lee Hall, the new President of the RP All of the RP’s activities are as a result of abundant goodwill, support and advice from friends, members and our highly experienced and valued Advisory Board. This is also an opportunity for me to introduce some new faces on the Council. Taking over the role of Vice President is Simon Davis, Hon. Secretary from 2010. Melissa Scott-Miller has returned to the role of Hon. Secretary. Sam Dalby, Sheldon Hutchinson and Tom Coates have stepped on to the Council. This year sees an expansion of our relationship with Seven Investment Management and their generous £15,000 Conversations Prize. The shortlisted works and winner will be displayed in the Threadneedle Space. Thanks to our sponsorship from Seven Investment And finally, it’s important to remember to thank the subjects and commissioners of our own paintings. The sitter’s time and the patron’s willingness to support artists by funding and loaning works is greatly appreciated and helps make exhibitions and artistic careers all the richer. The People’s Portraits collection at Girton continues to go from strength to strength with Jason Walker donating his portrait of ‘Brooksy’. This year the collection celebrates its 15th anniversary and there will be a small selection of paintings on show in the Threadneedle Space. 7 Video views Girton College Cambridge is the home of the People’s Portraits collection. Video artist and Girton College Artist in Residence, Sonny Sanjay Vadgama, talks about his experience in the role. Immersing myself in University life, and collaborating with the students and staff at Girton College has proved to be a rich experience. It is one that has fuelled my own work, and as I now feel comfortable here, I can get on with making things in a stimulating environment. Looking back a year, I can see how my ideas have changed, and how my inspiration has altered and shifted in shape. This new environment has Self portrait C-Print by Sonny Sanjay Vadgama 8 acted as a clean slate in terms of the kind of media I am gravitating towards, and being constantly surrounded by portraits is influencing the way I create work. Film and 3D continue to form the backbone of my practice, but I am enjoying the process of creating a new series of work, drawing from the energy and history that is layered within a single image. I try not to speculate on how work will evolve, but seeing the diversity of what has already been created feels extremely positive. My first weeks here demonstrated the need to raise awareness of the Artist in Residency scheme in order for the staff and students at Girton (and beyond) to know about the scheme and to interact with it. I attempted to do this by turning the studio into a focal point for interactivity. I encouraged both staff and students to collaborate with me, and to use the space to expand their interests and think about the intersections between different kinds of creativity. Film nights, poetry readings and social soirées soon followed. Working in Girton College required a paradigm shift in working, having grown accustomed to compact artists’ studios that offered limited chances for interactivity beyond the occasional conversation in a grotty communal kitchen. I learnt Girton had accepted me for the residency a year before, and initially, set about trying to plan how to make the most of it. Such a strategy only seemed logical, but I soon realised the ‘logical’ could hardly be applied to an environment that I had no experience of. Subsequently, trusting my gut was the best compass, and immersing myself in Sonny Sanjay Vadgama collegiate activities proved beneficial. Not only did it introduce me to new friends but it also taught me how to relax and enjoy some of the more formal traditions at Cambridge University. Attending lectures was one of the ‘logical’ plans I did follow through with, and I can wholeheartedly describe the experience as rewarding. Setting-up a new artist’s studio has always been a challenging process for me, so being able to attend lectures on subjects such as Philosophy and History of Art was food for thought and a fertile source of inspiration that could feed ideas into my own practice. The People’s Portraits collection at Girton College Cambridge is a unique collection of portraits of ordinary people in the UK today, painted by members of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. For more information, visit: www.girton.cam.ac.uk/girton-today/ artefacts/peoples-portraits The Bulldog Bursary 2015 Latest winner, Emma Hopkins, talks about how she works, and the opportunities that have arisen from winning. At eighteen, I moved to London from Brighton to study for a degree in Make-up and Prosthetics for Performance. I had always drawn inspiration for art work from anything human, and it seemed fitting to use the body as my canvas. I learnt a lot about how to work respectfully and intimately with another person and their body, how to guide them through narrative, and how to portray character. By the end of my course, I was designing, directing and filming performance pieces. Then, I graduated. I tried to fit myself into the designated performance industries, I even tried to fit myself into the medical industry by working for a prosthetic limb manufacturer. But I couldn’t. I saw a psychotherapist, started working in a little fine art supply shop, trusted my instincts and started to paint. Four and a half years later, and after a huge amount of trial and error, I applied for the Bulldog Bursary, and, to my bewilderment, I was successful. In this exhibition you will see my oil painting of Geri Morgan. Within the Mall Galleries’ Learning Centre, until 19th April, alongside other works I have made since winning the bursary, will be my encounters with Geri Morgan. They are recorded through preliminary sketches and paintings and a collaboration with the video and sound artist Debra Welch. Geri Morgan was born in London in 1926. Amongst many other things, Geri is a painter and was the principal of the Byam Shaw School of Art from 1970 to 1991. Each week, I visit Geri at his home in Islington. We make our way slowly up the winding, creeking stairs to his studio in the attic, where, after the ritual of a coffee and chat, he paints me and then I paint him. I paint, and feel lucky that I can combine my various skills into a practice that is beginning to take shape. Winning the Bulldog Bursary has been a momentous achievement for me, and given me real confidence and support. I will be eternally grateful for this unique opportunity. Despite the fact that since 1948 he has used life models for his own work, not until now has Geri swapped roles and sat for a painting himself. I have depicted him in a chair used by his models for over 40 years. I now also hold a pose in this chair for him each week. The markings covering the chair were crucial for me to include as they hold the memory of the physical positions of his models, meaningful friendships and beautiful paintings. I have filled Geri’s gaze with the intensity that I see when he paints me, and also the wealth of emotion and kindness he emits as a friend. I chose to paint on a plain translucent fabric as this forces you to observe intently the person, while also giving the work a sense of space. I have constructed a frame that contains Geri in a space that echos that of the sloped ceilinged attic. I wanted the piece to have a feeling of being unbalanced but at the same time solid. This is because, despite Geri’s strength as a person, he struggles at times with the control of his body. I am the most at ease and stimulated when Emma Hopkins in her studio 9 Ever wondered how a portrait is commissioned? Finding the right artist is a bit like falling in love – people know when they have found the right portrait painter for them. Commissioning a portrait is easy and enjoyable. Before launching into selecting an artist, you will need to have an idea about who or what you would like to have portrayed, roughly what size you would like the work of art to be, and whether it is to be a painting or drawing. Artists’ fees vary from small sums to small fortunes so the other aspect to address is a budget. The most important stage is to select an appropriate artist, which, without help, can be an overwhelming task. This is why we believe our ‘One Stop Shop’ for portrait commissions is so useful. We pride ourselves on our expertise and knowledge of the portraits market, along with the standard of our members’ work. Annabel Elton, our Head of Commissions, has over 30 years of experience, and she has developed systems to ensure the whole process is easy and enjoyable. She is able to provide advice and guidance from artist selection through to completion. Our website is a good place to start (www.therp.co.uk) with its ‘Choose an artist’ section. In addition, Annabel offers personal consultations either in person, by appointment or by email. Once chosen, it’s time to meet the artist, discuss the detail and agree a quote, only then do we book the first sitting. Most artists will travel to their sitter, but some prefer the more stable conditions of their studio. The number of sittings needed varies depending on the medium, the artist and their method of work; some artists will use photography and others work only from life but, broadly speaking, two to eight sittings of 1.5 hours is the average. Most importantly, sittings are enjoyable and friendships are often formed between sitter and artist. Once the work is finished, the artist will help you to choose a frame and the finish, and then you can enjoy the fruits of your part in the creative process for years to come. Please contact us if you would like to find out more about commissioning a portrait. Annabel Elton Telephone 020 7930 6844 enquiries@therp.co.uk www.therp.co.uk Alice Bell by Simon Davis VPRP RBSA “We wanted a portrait of our ten-year old daughter, Alice. We had never commissioned a portrait before and didn’t know what to expect but Annabel helped us identify potential artists and create a shortlist from which we chose Simon Davis. Everything was very clear in terms of logistics, pricing, payment, etc. Alice is never great at sitting still but she was very excited and honoured to be painted! Simon was very good at engaging her and making it fun. We are delighted with the end result – he has really captured Alice’s personality and her internal world, as well as what she looks like on the outside.” Jean and Julian Bell 10 The Paikin Girls by Valeriy Gridnev RP PS ROI “I commissioned the portrait for my husband’s birthday. We loved the whole process involving many ‘secret’ sittings with the wonderful Valeriy. We were all thrilled with the result.” Professor William Brown Darwin College, Cambridge by Geoffrey Hayzer RP “I’ve worked with him for twelve years and it’s like a viva! He’s sitting there giving you a severe ‘listening to’ and he’s about to ask the penetrating question that’s going to be extremely difficult to answer!” Peter Brindle, Darwin College Cambridge Irayne Paikin Sir Tim Wilson by Brendan Kelly RP “As part of our commitment to creating an artwork-rich campus that reflects a whole range of our interests, having portraits of our university founding Vice Chancellors, created by a young and contemporary portrait artist, allows us to talk about our history as a university in more traditional terms, and also creates a permanent memorial to people who helped us to the strong position we are in today.” “A photograph simply couldn’t do the same for us…we will treasure this for years to come.” Chris McIntyre, Dean of Cultural Affairs and Director of UHArts, University of Hertfordshire 11 Annual Open Award Winners 2014 Top left to right: ‘Ali’ by Neil B Helyard (The Love and Legacy Prize sponsored by Seven Investment Management); ‘Conversations with Duncan’ by Jennifer McRae (The Ondaatje Prize for Portraiture); ‘Jonathan Miller’ by Saied Dai RP NEAC (The Changing Faces Prize); ‘Portrait’ by Jack Joiner (The Arts Club Charitable Trust Award); ‘Study for Andrew’ by Antony Williams RP NEAC PS (The Prince of Wales’s Award for Portrait Drawing); ‘Studio 26’ by Flora Watson (The de László Foundation Award) 12 ‘Conversations’ Prize Seven Investment Management (7IM) provides investment services for a whole range of clients – from family businesses to sports people, from ‘tech’ entrepreneurs to journalists, large company chairmen to pensioners, trusts, charities and many more besides. The original seven of us set up our business 13 years ago, because – simply put – we couldn’t find an investment company that we could trust with our own pension monies. Today, we manage around £8bn for clients who like our straightforward approach – to managing money, to talking to them without jargon and acronyms, and to being wholly transparent about what we charge for it all. So conversations are at the heart of our business, it’s only through talking to people that we get to really understand them and appreciate what they need us to help them to do; be it provide for a family, secure a future or protect the fruits of a working life. We are delighted to be sponsoring the Royal Society of Portrait Painters again this year, and the ‘Conversations’ Prize is close to our hearts. After all, our origins go back to a conversation too, one between Justin and Tom, our CEO, in a staff canteen discussing the kind of business they would like to run, now they do… The Ondaatje Prize for Portraiture in association with The Royal Society of Portrait Painters The President, Council and members are most grateful to Sir Christopher Ondaatje CBE OC, and the Ondaatje Foundation for their generous sponsorship of this major annual award to the painter of the most distinguished portrait of the year. The prize was launched in 1995 and took the form of a commission to paint our Patron H.M. The Queen, for the Society. From 1996, the Prize has taken the form of a cheque in addition to the Society’s Medal. This year, 2015, sees the prize money at £10,000.

The Prize is a £2,000 commission to paint a portrait of a person who has a facial disfigurement for the Changing Faces Collection. The Collection aims to ensure that people with unusual faces are fairly represented in modern-day portraiture. Each year, as our commissioned artist reveals their work, we are reminded of the power of portraiture to challenge assumptions and expectations about what it means to have an unusual appearance. As well as the scar, the birthmark or asymmetrical features, the artist and his subject help you see a confident communicator, an attractive person with skills, talents and personality, and an individual who has a valid place in society. We look forward to congratulating the Prize winner.

I am keen to record the family as it grows. This is the first floor landing of our house: a busy junction of the home. Bedrooms, a bathroom and my studio lead directly off it. It becomes Ned’s space base, Ella’s dance floor and Hattie’s Gym at weekends. In the middle of the night panicking feet tumble through it towards our bedroom to escape nightmares and in the morning impatient siblings pace the floor awaiting the bathroom slot. It would be lovely to think we all interact wonderfully all the time but of course the reality is we disappear into our own worlds or that of the ether while inhabiting the same space. Ned, however, although self-sufficient, demands attention from his siblings and his Mum and Dad. Lisa here would be the only real witness to my assassination. 33 Tom Coates RP PPNEAC PPPS PPRBA RWA RWS Pauline with her Favourite Hat The Black Shawl 71 x 81 cm (28 x 32 ins) 71 x 84 cm (28 x 33 ins) Oil Oil 34 Peter Rockwell 66 x 76 cm (26 x 30 ins) Oil I met Peter while staying with friends in Tuscany. He came to sit for me each afternoon at 3pm, wearing different shirts each day, and normally dropping off to sleep within ten minutes! I learnt a lot from him about his famous father, Norman, and his painting methods. Peter himself is a renowned sculptor and professor in Rome, author of Art of Stoneworking and international consultant on Stone Conservation and Restoration. 35 David Cobley RP NEAC RWA Professor Martin Daunton 112 x 86 cm (44 x 34 ins) Oil 36 Neil Osborn 96.5 x 127 cm (38 x 50 ins) Oil 37 Anthony Connolly RP Annunziata 50 x 40 cm (20 x 16 ins) Oil 38 Sam Dalby RP Paul Kelly 70 x 60 cm (28 x 24 ins) Oil 39 Saied Dai RP NEAC The Musician 66 x 51 cm (26 x 20 ins) Oil 40 The Enigma of Jasper Rose 163 x 112 cm (64 x 44 ins) Oil 41 Simon Davis RP RBSA Standing Nude Standing Nude (Sepia) 71 x 61 cm (28 x 24 ins) 64 x 43 cm (25 x 17 ins) Oil Oil 42 Le Phare 74 x 58 cm (29 x 23 ins) Oil 43 Miriam Escofet Assoc RP Shubha 90 x 70 cm (35 x 28 ins) Oil This portrait was commissioned as a wedding present for Shubha and her husband James by his parents. There are biographical elements in the portrait: Shubha’s dress is the one she was wearing when James proposed; her wedding sari is draped over her arm and she is wearing her mother in law’s jewellery. Shubha’s natural demeanour made me think of Dominique Ingres’ wonderful society portraits, and I think some of that elegance has come through in the finished piece. 44 Kathryn and Milo 95 x 80 cm (37 x 31 ins) Oil Work in progress This is a mother and son portrait, in a pose I observed them naturally adopt after an Easter lunch last year. Something about the rhythm of the pose, the colour and the age old ‘mother and son’ motif really captivated me, and I mentally archived it as a potential portrait. Some months later, I asked Kathryn and Milo to pose for me in the exact same position. I always think of other artists and works when I am painting, and with this piece, I could not help thinking of the ‘pieta’ theme, especially with Kathryn’s outfit (albeit in a very modern style!) of royal blue and touches of gold. 45 Andrew Festing PPRP Mr Stan Cribb Mr Raymond Barnard 86 x 66 cm (34 x 26 ins) 59 x 61 cm (23 x 24 ins) Oil Oil 46 Mr Ricky Toomey 91.5 x 63.5 cm (36 x 25 ins) Oil 47 Richard Foster RP Barlow Family Capriccio 92 x 71 cm (36 x 28 ins) 142 x 110 cm (56 x 43 ins) Oil Oil 48 Fishing Hut, Stobiehaugh 61 x 51 cm (24 x 20 ins) Oil 49 Joseph Galvin Assoc RP Dr Ann Rhys 40 x 51 cm (16 x 20 ins) Oil Dr Ann Rhys is fondly known in Wales as ‘Dr Ann’. Since retiring as a psychiatrist with special interests in mental health problems in the community in Ceredigion and consulting psychiatrist to the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, she has become somewhat of a celebrity on the Welsh language programme Prynhawn Da. For the past 15 years she has had a weekly slot, sharing her expert medical knowledge and helpful advice on television and radio. Through all this, she managed to raise seven children, and is grandmother to 13 – she also happens to be my mother in law, and is an extraordinary person! The portrait was completed over several sittings, and was painted entirely from life. It was a gradual process that incorporated many subtle changes in expression and pose. Through these many observations, I feel that I was able to capture a true sense of her warmth and questioning nature. 50 Richard Q Hoare OBE – Founder and Past Chairman of The Bulldog Trust 76 x 98 cm (30 x 39 ins) Oil I first met Tigger in 2007 at Two Temple Place, home to the charity, The Bulldog Trust. The event was an exhibition of self-portraits by RP members, which also served as the launch of the then new Bulldog Portrait Bursary to support portrait painters in their early career. I was the first fortunate recipient of this award. Receiving the Bulldog Bursary was a life changing experience that helped me tremendously in establishing myself as a portrait painter. I was thrilled, therefore, to have the opportunity to paint this portrait of Tigger for The Bulldog Trust. During the sittings, I was introduced to the wonderful bronze bulldog, symbol of the Trust. It quickly became apparent that this cast bronze sculpture was to play an important role in the portrait. I really enjoyed the sittings, and with them, the opportunity of getting to know a very kind and considerate man. 51 David Graham RP Party Piece 76 x 63.5 cm (30 x 25 ins) Oil 52 High Hat 94 x 58.5 cm (37 x 23 ins) Oil 53 Valeriy Gridnev RP PS ROI Guitarist 65.5 x 105 cm (26 x 41 ins) Oil 54 The Framer 58 x 90 cm (23 x 35 ins) Oil 55 Robin-Lee Hall PRP 21st Century Family 63 x 71 cm (25 x 28 ins) Egg tempera 56 Brendan Kelly RP Fabio 100 x 112 cm (39 x 44 ins) Oil 57 Peter Kuhfeld RP NEAC Michael Fawcett MVO 122 x 96.5 cm (48 x 38 ins) Oil 58 Mark Roscoe Assoc RP “Detail from a Larger Scene” (from The Faculty of Advocates Bench and Bar painting 2015) 52 x 62 cm (20 x 24 ins) Oil 59 June Mendoza AO OBE RP ROI Hon. SWA Danielle de Niese, Opera Singer 152.5 x 107 cm (60 x 42 ins) Oil This painting was done over a year between Danielle’s opera engagements in the US at the Met, Norway, or wherever. We painted in the big Organ Room at Glyndebourne. Danni was marvellous, but the conditions were not: winter sun tended to pour across the room (death to the painting), and it was freezing. Danni, in her gorgeous couture dress, didn’t seem to notice – amazing! 60 Peter Avis and Andrew Keener Talking Music 107 x 152.5 cm (42 x 60 ins) Oil These two charmers were irresistible as a conversational subject. Immersed as they both are professionally in music, I wanted the close interplay of empathy and separateness. Despite the cramped room and frequent, frustrating bursts of sun (no north facing room available) it was a thoroughly enjoyable exercise, and started, by pure coincidence before I knew of the RP’s ‘Conversations’ project. Salena Jones, Jazz Singer 168 x 91.5 cm (66 x 36 ins) Oil 61 Anthony Morris RP NEAC Portrait of Jack Morris 84 x 75 cm (33 x 30 ins) Oil This is a portrait of my younger brother Jack. We were both always drawing at home and at school, where we were lucky to have such an inspiring art master who gave us much encouragement. I left school to go to Oxford School of Art, and Jack, three years later, in 1957, took drawings along to Morris Motors at Cowley and joined the Technical Publications Division. He recalls his first test piece was to draw a fuel tank unit, drawn with a crow quill, ruler and french curves. Jack spent the rest of his working life at Cowley, producing fantastic cutaway drawings for many publications, so much so that you could get into the car and drive it away. He now lives in Garsington, Oxfordshire, with his wife Jill, and is now producing wonderful wildlife paintings and scenes of the local countryside. 62 Portrait of Glyn 92 x 66 cm (36 x 26 ins) Oil 63 David R Newens Assoc RP Margaret 88 x 63 cm (35 x 25 ins) Oil 64 Susie 51 x 41 cm (20 x 16 ins) Oil 65 Michael Noakes RP PPROI 66 Sir Donald Sinden CBE (detail) 133 x 107 cm (52 x 42 ins) Oil We had known the Sindens for decades, and had talked earlier about a portrait – but it somehow did not get under way until he was in his late eighties. He was busy, and had been out-of-work as an actor for only five weeks until a few years ago. Sittings were spread over 2012 to 2014. I had seen him in a one-man performance, and I wished to echo that isolated single figure on a stage, with theatrical lighting. I made the background a vivid colour, and I would not have done that to a more ordinary sitter. He telephoned me once, speaking for nearly an hour: then there was a pause of three minutes, and he rang again and talked for a further forty minutes. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. And, of course, I wanted to show his humour, his exhilarating life-enhancing humour. His home, Rat’s Castle, was a wonder of theatre associations. My room when I stayed there had numerous pictures – and a blotter marked JG… John Gielgud. In fact, the can he holds in the portrait had belonged to John Mills. I painted many theatre and film figures years ago, and his view on them was subtly different from mine since he had worked with them as a relatively young actor; and in fact I have just been commissioned to paint Dame Judi Dench, so to my delight that continues… Lexie Whitter at 4¾ 56 x 45 cm (22 x 18 ins) Pencil A couple of years ago, I drew Lexie’s brother, Charlie, when he was the same age as she is now. I showed that portrait here too. Four and threequarters is a significant age, and an individual’s character and personality emerges – with these two, anyway – by then. 67 Anastasia Pollard RP Self Portrait 28 x 24 cm (11 x 9 ins) Oil 68 Danny 28 x 24 cm (11 x 9 ins) Oil 69 Susan Ryder RP NEAC Hon.

In his hand is a highly magnified version of a clathrin cage representing his research in cell biology. To the left you see the college, its coat of arms and a symbolic representation of its sporting activities with their mascot. To the right you have his wife Jane and her Morris dancers. 80 John & Joseph 43 x 43 cm (17 x 17 ins) Oil Painted on a panel given to me by Jason Bowyer to produce a self portrait for the show at the Hogarth Museum. Unfortunately, I was taken ill and didn’t complete it on time. Joseph is my second great grandson! 81 Toby Wiggins RP Wee-To. Tom and Edna Waterman, Stapleford 72 x 102 cm (28 x 40 ins) Oil 82 Guy Bamford at Dunshay Studio Chris Bardini 135 x 85 cm (53 x 33 ins) 40 x 30 cm (16 x 12 ins) Oil Oil 83 John Wonnacott CBE Hon. RP Lady with an Apple 100 x 70 cm (39 x 28 ins) Oil Work in progress My portrait began with a head painting on a 10” canvas, until my subject, a distinguished author, asked if she might work on her laptop while I worked on my drawing, and this set the pose for the full figure painting. Then, the Christopher Wood hanging above the El Greco-crimson couch began to dominate all my visual responses. To find my way into the delicate tonal rhythms of the head and features, I worked first with the veils of light and shadow thrown by a table lamp to criss-cross and unify the picture surface. 84 Taipans on the 48th Floor 115 x 160 cm (45 x 63 ins) Oil I first drew my Taipan subjects individually in their city offices before following them to Hong Kong for a fortnight of backto-back company meetings. The office I was given to use as a studio had large porthole windows looking at the harbour, and these set the circular motifs for my final painting. The interacting circle of figures sat together for only two or three posed meetings, but each director would call in separately to read through the papers or just to wind down with conversation unrelated to company business while I worked on my painting. The only Chinese, Hong Kong based, director would come in early each morning to sit for a direct painting head study while educating me with his deep knowledge of the history of the company. My commission was to create a painting based on a previous company portrait by the 19th century painter George Chinnery. 85 Robbie Wraith RP Burlesque 117 x 168 cm (46 x 66 ins) Oil 86 Portrait Study 66 x 56 cm (26 x 22 ins) Oil 87 Explore the best of British portrait painting at therp.co.uk The RP website is a valuable resource which unlocks the past, present and future of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters.

Some are born with a birthmark or congenital condition; others acquire scarring, asymmetry or reduced movement as a result of accidents, violence, warfare, cancer surgery, facial paralysis and skin conditions. Every day they are vulnerable to staring, bullying, prejudice and discrimination – on the street, at school and in the workplace. For 20 years, Changing Faces has been transforming lives with empowering support while promoting fair treatment and equal opportunities through our Face Equality campaign. Michael, a psychology student, who has facial burns, says: “‘When I was eleven, I had a horrible experience on a train. I was sitting next to my Mum and I could feel the piercing glares of everyone around me. I couldn’t handle it so I pulled my coat over my head and left it there the whole journey as I shed tears. My mother then decided that enough was enough and sought help. Changing Faces offered me support from the age of eleven to 14. Sharing my feelings with one of their team and learning techniques to tackle the stares was immensely helpful. I don’t feel I’d be the person I am today without their help.” Changing Faces thanks the Royal Society of Portrait Painters for continuing to raise awareness of our work. We rely entirely on donations to continue supporting and representing people with disfigurements.
