The National Portrait Gallery by dunni

from Dunni and Lola | Feb 8, 2010 Dunni and Lola

On Saturday 6th Febuary i went to The National Portrait Gallery and i really enjoyed it. I also heard from kay that she went to The National Gallery instead of The National Portrait Gallery!(I would easily get mixed up with that!)

First of all we got to wonder around the gallery, i did with my mum Naya and Samson, we were wondering all around the place.We then became hungry and started felling Ravenous
   which suprises me because i bearly eat.We went to the caffe downstairs to have our lunch and it was delicious! We were ment to go to The National Gallery afterwards but everyone was to tired so we all went home.
Some of the paintings made feel sad like  when there was a painting of a man with no eyes and it looked really sad and sorry. One other sad one was that there was a lady who had a big cut round her waste and it was masive, she burst into tears which made me fell sorry for her. There were also some discusting paintings that aren't for children and that was not that funny.

I wouldn't mind going to The National Portrait Gallery again, but maybe next time we can stay a bit longer. I also want to say love everyones work on the blog and keep blogging!

"I think what i have learnt the most about this project is.......wait for it....is SELF BELIEF. If an artist or anyone, writes, sings, dances or sculpts etc and believes they have done a good job, well thats all that matters....i have doubted myself in the past, lacked believing in myself and what i can achieve....”
