CELEBRATED artist Lucy Freud led painting classes for residents living at Royal Star & Garter in Surbiton.
She visited the Surbiton care home on two occasions, for art classes which focussed on Remembrance.
Lucy is the daughter of famed painter Lucian Freud, and the great granddaughter of eminent psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud.
During the first session, Lucy helped residents paint a field of poppies, using acrylics. In the second session, residents painted a sunset and silhouette.
She said: “I was amazed at just how talented some residents are at the Home, their paintings were beautiful. Painting focuses the mind and is very meditative, and I could see that with the residents during the sessions.”
This year’s Royal Star & Garter’s ‘They gave their all for us’ Remembrance campaign highlights how young some of the charity’s residents were when they joined the Armed Forces, and looks at how Royal Star & Garter is able to give back to them each day through its award-winning care.
