Painting as a Pastime

Best known as a stalwart wartime leader and statesman, Winston Churchill was a man of many talents — not the least of which was painting. Throughout his life, Churchill painted to relieve his mind from the demands of leadership — and to stave off depression.

Included in this volume are Churchill’s meditations on painting as a salve for the spirit and an important method of relaxation — particularly for people under considerable stress over a long period of time. In addition, it includes 18 reprints of Churchill’s original work in oil, giving the reader a window into the little-known creative and artistic talent of this prominent figure in contemporary history.
