Description

An Apple A Day by Richard Cooper Bronze

‘An Apple a Day’, that is definitely this mouse’s moto!

This endearing design has been sculpted by Michael Simpson.  The whole piece has been cast in resin bronze complimenting the natural tone found in the aging brass lock.  The mouse is carefully hand painted in artist’s oils.

The piece is carefully packed in a branded box with a colour booklet detailing the full Collection.

The company started life to design and manufacture limited edition foundry bronze sculptures and collectibles. The founder, Richard Cooper, had previously owned Country Artists Ltd, of Stratford upon Avon. A company he had also founded. This was a successful company designing and manufacturing animals, birds and a wide collection of wildlife subjects from around the world. All the sculptures were made in resin and hand painted in sizes from miniature to life size.

When the company was sold in 2004 Richard was not ready to retire and decided to start a new venture in the same arena but in bronze rather than resin as the base material.

Initially, Richard decided to develop comparatively large sculptures of wildlife studies and figurative work suitable for art galleries in contrast to the smaller subjects from the previous company, which were sold to gift shops.
