'Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life' Pablo Picasso. It was a delight to see our children exploring Holbein's Henry VIII and many other significant pieces of art. It was a privilege to see such a range of art close up and take time to enjoy art in the Walker Gallery. #art #artgallery #artistsofinstagram
