SYNOPSIS
Helen Bradley was born in 1900 and was over 60 when she first learned to paint in order to show her granddaughter what life was like in her own childhood. These delightful paintings show her home and family, holidays and fairs, funerals and carol singing in the snow; often in great detail and teeming with people. A most charming look back to a distant and perhaps happier and more innocent time. "Even the weather was kinder." At her last London exhibition in 1970, all the paintings were sold before opening.
