Bluebell Wood

You may have read on a previous post that Roger was 40 years young in January. Friends were invited to contribute towards the purchase of a single work art. After weeks of searching Roger finally found a painting he loved. He travelled to the Bonhams art auction in Chester where he successfully bid for Bluebell Wood by James Lawrence Isherwood.



Bluebell Wood required some restoration and cleaning, but has already provided a great deal of viewing pleasure. A big thank you to all who made a contribution!



Just fifteen minutes drive from our home in Sheffield is one of our favourite circular walks. In May each year the path is adorned with bluebells which provided the inspiration for Roger to acquire Isherwood's painting. Can you believe it's not the same place?
