Helen Bradley began painting her unique and charming narrative scenes at the age of sixty-five. She painted in order to show her grandchildren what life was like when she was a child. The artist transmuted her childhood memories in the everyday life of ordinary Lancashire mill folk into anecdotal art. Characterized by the frank and inhibited outlook of a young child, her bright, teeming pictures and her own delightful narrative, memorably reflect that gentle period. Folk in style, idyllic in mood, Bradleys pictures are as accomplished as they are imaginative.

Helen Bradley
Helen Bradley was born in Lees near Oldham in 1900. She began her art education at the age of 13, winning the John Platt scholarship to Oldham Art School in 1913. The outbreak of war and parental opposition brought an early end to her artistic career. Bradley only began to paint her distinctive scenes of an Edwardian girlhood at the age of 65. She simply wanted to show her grandchildren how different a place the world used to be when she was a child. In the 1960s, she met L. S. Lowry, who encouraged her in the creation of a narrative style based on her childhood memories and a personally expressive style finally began to emerge. From 1965 until she died in 1979, Bradley achieved international celebrity. Televised documentaries were made of her life, the Northern Ballet adapted her work for the stage and shortly before her death, she was awarded the MBE.

Beth Dacey, "Waiting for Train", 40x30 Vintage Train Station Oil Painting
By Beth Dacey
Located in Saratoga Springs, NY
This interior painting, "Waiting for Train", is a 40x30 oil painting on canvas by artist Beth Dacey depicting multiple figures in an open train hall. Multiple figures are depicted in period specific wear standing staring away from the viewer. While other figures are caught in motion and a moment of time. Beth paints from old photographs, primarily from the 1950's and 1960's. She will crop out facial features of the people which allows the viewer to relate to the painting in their own way.
About the artist:
Beth Dacey has studied painting at the museum schools at the DeCordova, in Lincoln, MA and at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. She has a BA and MA from Boston College and, for a number of years, taught writing and literature there. She is a member of the SOWA Artists Guild and the Copley Society...
