A Staggering Portrait
Last week during his Plume of Feathers surgery, Mr Evans was intrigued when Aubrey in Year 3 suggested that for her Bronze award in the “paint a picture of someone you admire” category, she’d painted a favourite of his from his Uni days, Siouxsie Sioux, having seen her at Latitude last year.
