All aspiring artists hope their works will be displayed where they
can be appreciated. For
16 upper-school students from Christel House India-Bangalore, this
dream is becoming reality.
The Eaton Smart Hotel in Delhi commissioned 16 paintings to be
created by Christel House students. The works, all of which depict the sun
setting over the ocean, will be displayed in individual hotel suites.
Eaton Smart Hotels will donate more than $6,000 to Christel House
in appreciation of the students' efforts. The project took six months to
complete, and students worked both during their art classes and after school.
The works are stunning, and reflect care, precision and creativity in every
piece.
We are positive that these paintings will enrich the experience of
Eaton Smart guests. And, the Christel House artists can take much pride in
knowing that their efforts helped support the school they love.
"I
have watched the setting sun spread on its canvas beautiful colours and hues. I
tried to capture this brilliant spectacle in my small canvas. The beach and the
ocean created a feeling of calmness in me. I felt that I am part of it all." – Gopal
