Consulate of Malta
-- Joe Micallef
This was a very intriguing and interesting portrait. Another portrait of him, which will hang in the Maltese National Museum, had the Maltese Cross papering the entire background. I wanted to do something a little more...conservative. We ended up doing a "fool the eye" where the portrait is obviously a painting, but the three medals appear to be real, and pinned to the portrait. The medals are the Maltese Cross, the Medal of Honour, and I will find out the name of the third.
I also put the Maltese Cross on his cuff links, on a lapel pin I added after these photos were taken, and in the design on his tie.
The painting is 40" x 30".
