She was local to Knightsbridge and used to buy her artist's materials in Harrods. Through regular visits she got to know my mother, who worked there, and showed her a picture she'd painted of the Hans Crescent corner of the store. My mum arranged an introduction with the Harrods marketing department, and the picture was bought and reproduced as a greetings card by the store.<br /><br />She died shortly before a solo show opened at a gallery somewhere in St Katharine Docks. I know, I was there: we arrived, and my mum didn't know that Gertrude had died, so it was rather awful.Paul Cowdellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03450745221810240378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998504259104643425.post-82094740064040282622017-10-14T00:18:23.599+01:002017-10-14T00:18:23.599+01:00Hi Joy, What a perfect card for the "children...Hi Joy, What a perfect card for the "children" theme!

They may be on the edge of trouble. :-)John's Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618219887687125402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998504259104643425.post-56327490828804440742017-10-10T16:53:31.893+01:002017-10-10T16:53:31.893+01:00I think I had seen some works by this illustrator....I think I had seen some works by this illustrator.
