“Football Genius”
Oil on canvas
80cm x 60cm
This is the second painting I’ve done from the recent 4th round cup tie. Independently of the owner commissioning his painting, the Supporters’ Club chairman asked me to do a picture that could be auctioned to raise funds (as I have done twice before).
He wanted a picture that showed the flags produced by supporters that gave an impressive display as the game started, and sent me a photograph showing the view from almost exactly where I always stand.
Suitably cropped to increase its impact, that’s what this painting is. The flag (one of four huge ones) shows John Coleman – Football Genius, and a few of the many red and white flags we all waved.
Updated to add that framed and glazed prints of this painting are now going on sale to raise funds.
