Churchill’s Art

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader sees on the news wire that a Winston Churchill painting just sold at acution for 612,000 Pounds (or $1,200,000 US). This amount was a record for any Churchill painting.

The painting, “A View of Tinherir” was done by Churchill in 1951 while the Prime Minister was on holiday in Morocco. It was given by Churchill to George C. Marshall (former Chief of Staff, US Army and former Secretary of State) as a gift. The painting has been in the possession of the Marshall family since, but was auctioned off by Marshall’s grand-daughter.

The painting, like many Churchill works, is quite good. Churchill’s reputation as an amateur artist is good (as far as your Maximum Leader knows). Take a look at the record-breaking painting..

View of Tinherir by Winston Churchill.

Quite good, quite good indeed.

Carry on.
