INSPECTOR CHRISTOPHER MAJOR APM Oil on Linen 86 cm w x 107 h NFS Artist’s Statement Inspector Christopher Major has been awarded the Australian Police Medal, in the Queens’s Birthday Honors List for 2021. This is a recognition of his dedication and professional service to policing and the Victorian community, over the many years of service to the Victorian Police. As a friend, like his family, we are all so very proud of Chris and I wanted to congratulate him with painting him in his uniform for my entry into the 2022 Archibald Entry. Chris’s painting has been a blessing for me, as life is about living and givingthose special things to people that inspire you in life. Chris is such a wonderful person with lots of patience for every person and is an inspiration to all. I loved painting Chris as he stands tall and with all that he has accomplished in life, it makes you appreciate the time we all have left to do something good and special for ourselves as well as the family, friends and all other people in our world. |
