  1. The painting I liked the most was called 2 shepard boys with dogs fighting because the boys were as huge as normal boys and the painting was as tall as a fully grown man.

  2. my tour was amazing I loved two shepherd boys and two dogs fighting
    it was huge in person and I loved the old furniture.

  3. The painting I liked was called Old London Bridge because the width was as long as a 10 year old on its side;

  4. Hi everybody, I would like to share my experience at Kenwood House.

    There were SO many paintings! The person who led us, Victoria, told us to constantly “look up”.

    When I looked up in most of the rooms, it was very fascinating what there was to see! There were so many patterns and sunroofs as the building was absolutely sky-scraping! (In my point of view, it should’ve been called Kenwood Mansion, not Kenwood House)

    My favourite painting was the Old London Bridge. It had lots and lots of detail and certainly deserved to be in Kenwood House.

    I enjoyed it very much and would recommend going there in your free time or just any time in general.

    Have a great day!

    1. Hi Brandon,

      Yes Shepherd Boys was very popular with Duncombe…it’s an interesting painting.

  6. I like Kenwood house because I love all paintings and I love the two sheperd boys and the two dogs fighing because one of the dogs were bitting and i love the great fire of london it has so much detils.

  7. Dear Micheal,
    I loved Kenwood House!

    The paintings & sculptures were a blast! I couldn’t take my eyes off them. My favourite
    painting was the Shepherd boys. I never knew it was so big! The house was also beautiful.

  8. I really liked the trip to Kenwood house because there were really intresting paintings even old London bridge. I like old London bridge because there so much detele which makes it so lovely!

  9. I enjoyed looking at the really old paintings with precious frames and knowing more about the paintings .I noticed that in the painting 2 Shepard Boys with Dogs Fighting had a boy with black hair and the was bleeding on his knee.My favourite painting was the Old London Bridge because it shows in detail how it was in the olden times.
    If you look on the ceilings, you will see beautiful and marvellous arts and will make you amazed!
    IT’S TRUE !!!!Don’t believe me check for yourselves!

  10. I think the most nice picture WAS THE TWO SHEPHERD BOYS.I thought that because the picture looked interesting, cool and a little bit weird but I still like it. this is from Reyhan.

  11. I never got to go with my class. Had to go to Shelter for the giant dolls house project. Anyway, maybe one of you guys can tell me what happened?

  12. I loved going kenwood house! It made me so excited! I really was interested about the facts Michael told me! My favourite piece of art was Mrs Tollemache as Miranda! It was very detailed! It reminded me about Ernest Shackleton!i really enjoyed being at kenwood house!

  13. When I went with my class to Kenwood house I personally liked two shepherd boys with dogs fighting and was really surprised with how big it was

  14. my faivourite painting was the london bridge cause i think i had more ideas then the others

  15. I loved the tour of Kenwood house because Michael pointed out lots of things that I hadn’t noticed. It was really interesting and inspiring.

    1. my favourite picture is the two shepherd boys because its you get to see what they did in the olden days when they made dog fights happen and its very enthusiastic
      if I was to change the painting I will to the boys with a stick running away from a snake.

  16. I liked all of the paintings but The Two Shepherd Boys was my favorite painting. Personally, the painting was interesting and memorable, but a bit odd as there is violence between the dogs. I still like it though. I thought there was a story between the boys, and a little thing. If you twist the boys to the same position as the dogs, they look like the same.
    No wonder this painting is popular!

  17. I loved the tour of Kenwood house because I saw all the paintings I was learning about at school . I liked all the paintings and I enjoyed them all .

  18. I really liked the paintings some of them were massive and others were very small. My favourite painting was the old London bridge it was amazing.

  19. I had lots of fun at Kenwood House because I got to see lots of beautiful paintings. My favourite painting was old London Bridge ,The guitar player and Lady Henrieta of Loraine.

  20. I loved the way you explained all of paintings to my class also it was great to see”The Guitar player ” still there because as you told us it was STOLEN,so it was good to see it
    back in its original place.

  21. I enjoyed finding out more about the painting from Michael. We asked lots of questions and found out lots of information about the paintings. My favourite was the Two Sheppard Boys and the dogs fighting. We had lots of fun going to Kenwood House so a big thank you to Michael for inviting us.

  22. I was amazed by how big Mrs Tollemache as Miranda was because the guitar player was so small and was very detailed .Carolin ( the person that led my group) asked me how big I thought the painting of Mrs Tollemache as Miranda was and I said I thought it was a small size so it surprised me to see how large it really was.

    Thank you for inviting us to the gallery.

  23. Two of My favourite paintings at Kenwood House were Mrs Tollemache as Miranda also The Guitar player because it was a calm painting. Although the

  24. I really liked the painting called the shepherd boys and the fighting dogs because I saw the position of the boys and the dogs were very similar.
    The painting I least liked was Mrs Tollemache as Miranda because I don’t like Miranda’s dad Prospero and his slave Caliban. If I was going to do the project again I would like to study another painting.

  25. I really like all the paintings I like the way Michel told us about the last painting Miss Tollemache as Miranda because she was really gentle and looked like an angel and callaban is a monstrous character with a claw and her dad is not letting her see the world he is not giving her freedom that isn’t nice. I like this painting because there is a lot going on you can see two boats.
    Finally if we were to do it again I would look at different paintings because there is no point of studying them again.

  26. To Mr Michael Walsh,
    I really enjoyed my time at Kenwood House, the view is breath taking.
    My favourite painting is ‘Lady Henrietta And Her Page’ because her dress makes her stand out and looks like she’s really wealthy and rich.
    The painting I disliked was the ‘guitar player’ because the only thing that stands out is her gold guitar and her dress. And the room she’s in is all dark and dull so I don’t like it.

  27. Hi Michel Walsh , I am writing this blog to say about what I like about the painting and what I think they could do better.

    My three favourite painting were Mrs Tollemache as Miranda because It had a secret in the painting and was interesting I also liked the way different people draw Miranda , Prospero and Caliban . My second favourite painting was Lady Henrietta and the page .Finally my FAVORITE painting is The two shepherds and their two dogs fighting.

    For the painting The shepherds and their two dogs fighting I would change a little bit because its to violent .
    Feedback: My opinion is that you should make the tour longer in Kenwood House and show us more painting from the same artists that did our paintings in our project.

    Thank You Michael and the Kenwood House Team.

  28. People said that the old bridge is marvellous because it looked ancient.
    I liked the rich side because it had tall buildings what I would change if I did the project again I wouldn’t change anything because the painting is fabulous .

  29. I don’t like the painting of the shepherd dog because the boy with brown heir is grabbing the other boy with the blond heir and the boy with brown heir’s dog is fighting with the other dog.

    I like the painting of the girl with the guitar because it is not violent and because it is calm.

  30. I like how you brought all those enthusiastic words and verbs and adjectives and
    I like the painting about the guitar girl because I like guitars.

  31. Two of my favourite paintings were The guitar player and The shepherds and their two dog fighting, although I liked the guitar player better because it’s calmer than The shepherds and their two dogs fighting.
    Maybe next year we should study paintings less so violent. I think that The shepherd boys and their two dogs fighting was popular because it was the last painting we studied.
    In another way I hope that the tours will be longer in the future because I want to learn about more paintings.

    Thank you
