The painting below was taken from an old family snapshot in the 60's. It measures 80cm x80cm. It was taken by another family member who left a finger partially covering the lens on the bottom right of the frame!.Typical amateur photography you might say!.....But it captures that moment in time. You remember everything about that day, even the person who took the photo!
Original photo actual size 8cm x 8cm (below)
The portrait above is a re-interpretation of a missing 1948 portrait of Will Cuff, a former manager and chairman of Everton Football Club. The painting was based on a newspaper cutting photo ( below ) of Will being presented with the original and combining the two images , it was commissioned by Everton Heritage Society and Everton FC and now hangs in the boardroom at Goodison Park.
