Description

Woodland Couple by Richard Cooper Bronze

These sweet woodland mice make the the perfect pair in the quest to find the cosiest spot deep in the forest floor.  And they appear to have found it amongst the foliage right next to a delectable supply of wild mushrooms! This charming design by Michael Simpson is cast in resin bronze with subtle highlights to the foliage and mushrooms, and with each mouse delicately hand painted with artist’s oils.

This piece is 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.
