Artist in residence - Amelia Chaffinch - 30-07-2018
Anyone watch the programme that was on C4 last night?
Just put in on now.
Bit sad, really, that it's all about the relegation battle so far.

He's not a very quick painter. Pulis was sacked before he'd finished his portrait. And he started it in pre season.

Very poignant.

Just watched it on catch up - I think the artist is one of us now, fascinating how he went from indifferent to very emotional at the end.

Exactly. He called it family.

Loved him celebrating the winner against Spuds - he's one of our own
The paintings were fantastic at the end

I wonder if he chose West Brom because he worked with Frank Skinner on Landscape Artist of the Year.....?

What was that massive portrait of Napoleon doing in Tony Pulis's hall?
RE: Artist in residence - Amelia Chaffinch - 30-07-2018
I don't think that was adequately explained!

I thought it was an outstanding programme. Tai had a great way with all the people he interacted with - manager, players supporters. Although not a football fanatic, he never talked down to those fans who defined their lives by their love of the game and the Baggies, he just listened and understood. Like others, I loved that, as the season progressed, he became emotionally bound up in the club - that scene when we scored against Spurs was just priceless. As hard as it was to watch a programme where we all knew the outcome was relegation, I reckon it made for a better production than if we'd ended up in a mid table position - there would have been none of the emotion or edge that it actually had.
The boy can paint a bit as well
