Commission- Melrose 7’s

A Tribute in Paint: Celebrating Malcolm Changleng

This very special painting was commissioned by a wonderful wife and daughter to mark Malcolm Changleng’s retirement from teaching — a heartfelt tribute to a much-loved figure in both education and rugby.

Packed with personal touches, the piece features:

🏉 The crests of schools close to his heart on the billboards

🏉 The rugby strips from teams he’s proudly played for

🏉 An action shot capturing a memorable Melrose try

🐾 His beloved dog watching on

🏉 The iconic Doddie Weir statue standing tall in the distance

It was an honour to bring together these threads of Malcolm’s life in one scene — a celebration of his passion, community, and contribution to so many.
