Churchill and His Pastime of Painting

Churchill’s short but charming essay ‘Painting as a Pastime’ is now readily available online. 

I’ve just come across this lecture on YouTube. It’s very enjoyable to watch. 

The last comment by Simon “ The second atomic bomb was named after Churchill” is quite new to me. I’ve never heard of that. It’s an astonishing claim. Did you know?

“Happy are the painters for they shall not be lonely. Light and colour, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end, or almost to the end, of the day.” - Winston Churchill
