Talk: A Brush With Wildilfe
Venue : The Village Hall Wrenthorpe Lane Wrenthorpe Wakefield WF2 0NE
Details : Anna-Louise will be the guest speaker at the Wrenthorpe Gardening Club’s August meeting.
Pollyanna’s work as a wildlife artist always brought her into close contact with real birds and animals. Alongside Anna-Louise, for fifteen years she ran a small sanctuary at her home to care for and rehabilitate injured wildlife. It was initially intended that she would care for owls, hawks, and falcons, but over the years she looked after many other birds and animals including foxes, squirrels and hedgehogs.
In A Brush with Wildlife Anna-Louise takes a light-hearted look at their life and work in the beautiful Peak District of Derbyshire. This talk tells the heart warming and often amusing stories of just a few of the many hundreds of creatures that passed through their care, and of course shows a selection of the sketches and paintings for which Pollyanna was so renowned.
Non-members are always welcome at a cost of £3.00 for a trial meeting.
