~ Winston Churchill, speech in the House of Commons, after taking office as Prime Minister (13 May 1940)
Did you know that Winston Churchill loved to paint? It helped him to relax.
As a man who fought in numerous wars and battles, not to mention led his country during WWII, and also struggled with depression, Churchill certainly needed something peaceful in his life. Long Gallery at Sutton Place, near Guildford

ReplyDeleteVery much enjoyed the Churchill works and related pieces.
ReplyDeleteBeing as hard a worker as he was, I wonder what he'd say to the fact that his quote has been paraphased as "Blood, Sweat, and Tears"...leaving out the toil.
