This Frog Prince was made by Jo Lewington. I asked her to tell me about it and she said :-

"This dates from my sculptor phase in the ‘80s. I made 3 or 4 of these. One was sent to the head of a fashion house in California ( I remember it as Mr Gucci , but that can’t be right, but he was famous). I think the one in the picture went to another rich American. I can’t remember what happened to the rest but there is one somewhere in the Cotswolds. I made postcards and a leaflet and distributed them around Chelsea Garden Show, but at that time I was off to India for a year and my career as a sculptor ended."

In September, C1980, the West Oxfordshire Arts Ass. held a syndicate exhibition. Some of the members exhibiting includedSusan Carruthers, water colouristAnn Manly, water colouristCaroline Elkington, figure paintingLin Sproule
