  1. Before they revealed the painting i thought the character on the left was a robin because it was hanging on the tree and i thought it was winter.

  2. Before they revealed the painting i thought that the the boy was playing with his mother which i thought was his mum and i thought they where playing

  3. This is a very nice picture and realistic it looks like a woman acting like a character:) super cool it also looks like shes wearing a cream that looks like it may kill you or is deadly and the other character on the floor is a kinda funny person its like a half human half monkey and half kid person there`s a old man also peaking through the tree branches weirdly its also a very artistic painting she also looks like shes standing on a bridge and in the back round is a bunch of grass land and a flowing river she also look like shes under a autumn tree and a very beautiful one

  4. I thought that the person in the middle was a statue because it was not moving also it was white.

  5. I think this a very creative piece of art and this must have took long.It is amazing and suprising.

  6. I thought the painting was very artistic and there is always something special about
    every painting and drawing people do. It was also very mysterious and i liked it a lot.

  7. Before the panting was revealed i thought it was a woman because it looked like a skirt at the bottom and then it turned out right

  8. I think it is a lady because she is wearing a belt and she looks like she is in a funeral

  9. I also thought that the thing in the left was a bird and the one down on the floor was a squirrel and they were playing a game in the green space.

  10. The man at the tree looks creepy because he is looking at the girl.It was pretty shocking because it looked like she was playing with the baby.

      1. I now know that Her Father’s name is Prosfero and the person on the floor looked like a monkey but it was just Calaband From Shakespear.I would love to come to Kentwood House.

  11. I wondered if the woman and the monkey were playing a game or building something because it looked like the monkey was holding logs.

  12. When i saw this painting i was surprised at first. I thought the one in the tree was a owl bird or maybe a lantern but its actually a old man or just a man. My answer was right before with the one in the middle being a women but the things on the ground was like a golden pole with a golden monkey head on top so it was never a animal. Even tho i still love this painting we are working on. Im gonna miss doing this.

      1. Thanks Michael im glad you replied.My favourite painting that we are seeing is the one that we are doing currently with the Miranda painting.All of this art has inspired me to maybe grow up in the future and maybe become a artist.Some time i would love to visit Kenwood House so then i could see all the paintings so then i might get inspired by some and maybe do my own.Have a amazing day Michael bye.

  13. WOW! I like it because one the picture is good two the art is fantastic and here are 3 questions… why is the women like a statue? Why is a man’s face in a tree?
    Why does the kid look like he is made out of wood? So those are my questions.

  14. When we were looking at the painting I didn’t think there would be a woman in the middle. I also didn’t think there would be a person sitting on the ground next to the
    woman. It looked like she was doing a pose and that she might be holding
    a thing or two.

  15. This is the last time we are working on this project.But i really love this painting the person who painted this was just very artistic. Hopefully some day we will learn about it again.But when i first saw the painting tho i was really shocked but yeah.

  16. I would love to Kenwood House because it has magical paintings, they look like a wonderland!

  17. I enjoyed getting to look at the amazing paintings.I also really liked how magical it was.I would love to visit kenwood house and see all the beautiful paintings.

  18. the 2 painting was my favourite painting because it was very entaining and really chaos.

  19. I would visit Kenwood house so i can look at the paintings in real life and discover the other painting that they have. All of them were really realistic

  20. I enjoy getting to look at the painting because it is so majestic.My favourite painting is the coastal scene because the boats were sinking and I felt shocked.I would go and see kenwood house because it’s amazing.

  21. I would love to visit Kenwood House because, it has really beautiful paintings and i would love to see the paintings in real life! My favourite painting is Old london bridge!

  22. I think I saw a boat crashing against the sea and it looked like the boat
    was stuck and was trying to get pulled to shore because i saw men
    pulling a rope and it could have a conection.

  23. I would like to go to Kenwood House because i want to see the paintings in person and because i am really interested in the old paintings . My favourite painting is miss tolemash as Miranda because it looks so realistic .

  24. i`m not sure if i want to go to the Kenwood house at the same time i really want to because i want to see all the beautiful art 🙂

  25. I have enjoyed the project it was fun and surprising looking at these paintings.My favourite painting was Old-London-Bridge because I liked how the houses and shops were on the bridge back in the olden times.

  26. I liked coastal scene because there is so much action like fisherman trying to bring their boat to shore during the terrible thunderstorm ,a random shoe and so much more and lets be honest who doesn’t like action ?Anyway I would like to visit Kenwood House sometime in the future.

  27. Thank you Michael for your comments! I have really enjoyed this project. My favourite panting is Hawking in the olden times because it is exciting and chaotic! I would love to visit Kenwood House in the future!
