Annabelle painting this oil on canvas painting last year for the local library World War II art competition. She didn't win but we recently entered it on a site for kids and she has received two comments from real artists. The site is to promote creativity in children through artwork of writing. They have authors and artists who comment on the childrens work. You can read her comments by clicking here. Annabelle says "The Evacuation Train during World War II which took the children out of London to the safety of the countryside. The children are saying goodbye to their parents on the platform. I painted this for a competition but I didn’t win."
Lovely picture Annabelle, and what lovely comments the editor made. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's really beautiful! Deserves to win!
ReplyDeleteWow what a brilliant painting, that's me, 4th on the right with the blue scarf and the ginger hair. I remember it well, we all had our names and addresses pinned on our coats with a safety pin, I had strict instructions to look after my younger brother, I was about 10, and he was 6. It was over a year before we saw our home or our parents again.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful painting Annabelle!! Such a touching story too, and you told it well, with that painting.
