Project Heroes™ Shares Portraits With Sir Winston Churchill Society

A Room at Breccles, Norfolk by Sir Winston Churchill

Last night Project Heroes™ was honoured to display several of the portraits at the 48th Annual Memorial Banquet held by the Rt. Hon. Sir Spencer Winston Churchill Society of Edmonton at the MacDonald Fairmont Hotel.

The banquet is held annually honouring the current year's recipients of scholarships, awards and prizes as well as winners of the High School competitions. The society featured key-note speaker great grandson of Sir Winston, Randolph Churchill whose topic was Churchill, European Unity and Economic Turmoil. 

It was a pleasure for the artists Cindy Revell, Shairl Honey and Susan Abma to meet some wonderful and interesting people including Randolph himself and share the project with the guests. Sir Winston Churchill was not only a statesman but an artist which was an appropriate connection to this event for us.

Randolph told the artists that the project was of huge importance, and that showing many of the fallen Canadian soldiers smiling in the portraits really brings home the human aspect - that the soldiers were real people.

"When I get to heaven I mean to spend a considerable portion of my first million years in painting, and so get to the bottom of the subject..." - Sir Winston Spencer Churchill
