Sir Winston Churchill, Rosemary Lodge 2581, London, is well-known as a statesman, author, speaker and historian. As Prime Minister, he led England through its darkest days of World War II and served a second term as the cold war took root in the early to mid 1950s. In 1946, during a landmark speech in Fulton Missouri, he warned about the approaching tensions between western and communist block countries and originated the term "iron curtain." Less known about Brother Churchill is the fact that he was an accomplished artist. Having started painting late in life without formal training, Churchill created oil paintings which have won critical acclaim and commanded handsome prices.
