Charles Rennie Mackintosh portrait. This is the original triple portrait of C R Mackintosh in oils on canvas 3’x 2′. This portrait is done in a bold Colourist technique. I spent the best part of a year painting this portrait. All colours were used using a documented commentary by Annan on that day. He, Mackintosh, wore a dark green Liberties scarf and an oatmeal coloured jacket. The bow gives him an affected look, but apparently Annan asked him to tie the scarf into a bow like a continental artist. This is the first attempt that I know of him in colour. He had a very handsome look, I think.
