Admittedly it is easier to do a sculpture off a live model but Diana was so photographed there must have been any amount of reference photos .
This is my first sculpture ever using a live model
And it looks just like him
This is my second another live model
I was expecting something really great

Re: Diana’s statue
Thank you Right Now but I have to say all the other people in the sculpture class did pretty good stuff too. Getting a likeness is ( to me ) so important That’s why I thought a renown sculptor like Ian Rank Broadly who did this would have done something really memorable .He is a good sculptor this was just not one of his better works .

Re: Diana’s statue
I don't think the face looks enough like her, and I also think the three children was a mistake.I understand why they put three kids, but you can't even see them from the front anyway.
I think it spoils it.
However, if the Princes wanted it that way, who are we to dispute it?
Its their Mum, not ours.

Charles and Camilla with Noel Coward sculpture.Different setting but in a familiar pose.
Having her seated with children by her side might not have been seen as suitable. A centre piece that dominates the garden that she enjoyed.
If her family approve nobody else's opinion matters.

A very natural relaxed photograph, which some may have been been expecting.
