My congratulations to everyone at Samuel Lucas School in Hitchin. Earlier this year they invited me to be their artist-in-residence for their Take One Picture project. This is the annual National Gallery scheme, where each year a single painting from their collection is chosen. Notes and training days are offered to teachers who wish to participate in the programme, and outstanding projects get exhibited at the National Gallery itself.
This year the painting was The Umbrellas by Renoir, and you can read about the work we produced in an earlier post (Click here). I was so excited to hear that Samuel Lucas School has been short-listed and will be visit by personel from the gallery in December. That means Le Theatre de Renoir has to be rebuilt! And the play rehearsed and put on again. But it will be so great if the work goes to London – the children and staff worked so hard, they deserve to be successful. Time to pull out all the stops… and I’ll go along to help if I can. Wish them luck!
