Description
Bluebells & Bee by Richard Cooper Bronze
The start of Spring has finally arrived! The sweet scent of delicate bluebells drifts through the glade to be met by the tiny wet nose of a curious woodland mouse. A busy bee nestles inside a trumpet oblivious to his furry friend. This intricate design sees the little mouse sitting under the curving sprig of beautiful bluebells, slightly sheltered from the elements. The mouse, bluebells and bee are delicately hand painted highlighting the skill of sculptor Michael Simpson.
This 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.
