   Can train a winner too 

Payne portrait entered for Archibald

        Katy Watts

A portrait of Paddy Payne, the patriarch of the famous Payne 
racing family, has been entered as a contender for this year's 
prestigious Archibald Prize.
Payne, a trainer in his own right, received international recognition
 when portrayed in last year's Ride Like A Girl movie based on the life 
of his daughter, Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Michelle Payne.

Many of Payne's children, including Michelle, expressed their love of
 the portrait on social media and hope that it is able to be a finals 
contender.

Artist
 Antoniette Preston produced the portrait of the Miners Rest trainer 
with oil on linen and said it was an honour to paint the father of 10.

"I loved hearing about his appreciation for horses, incredible 
devotion to his family and interesting views on climate change," Preston
 said.

"It has been such an honour getting to know Paddy.

"I hope to have captured his kindness and humbleness in this painting."

The finalists for the Archibald Prize will be announced on September 17.

	One thousand to one for the prize, when did a "photographic" one ever win ?

	Lovely painting. Is it a good likeness Gay ? Yes, those art prizes often go to the blobs of paint that look like the pics the kid next door does.

	Gay may disagree AA, however it's an extremely good likeness imo - though he's lost about 10 years and more than a few wrinkles. The artist would have had a private sitting or two with Paddy, though as Max infers it's very much like some photographic images I've seen of him around the time Michelle won the Cup.
