Paul Smith, 42, had toyed with the idea of creating a piece of art focusing on the Baron of Richmond for some time and went ahead with the creation after his death on Sunday, August 24.
The artist worked on Sunday evening to complete the piece and was not deterred by bad weather. Mr Smith, from Surbiton, previously worked at Twickenham Film Studios in the 1990s and met Lord Attenborough on numerous occasions.
The mural in Red Lion Street, Richmond, is a mixed medium tribute and takes inspiration from a number of Lord Attenborough’s works. The painting, which also uses stencilling and pens, took three hours of preparation work plus another two hours to complete.
