Bulldozed Wilderness, Lost Gainsborough Cows

By Andrew Hardwick 2025

Near me  close to Bath, Gainsborough  painted  bushes,cows and streams.  Wonderfully romantic scenes. Closer to me, land has been bulldozed for new development. Wanted to combine the two, taking his image from a print. The cows are like the cows we had on the farm, hiding in a muddy left over
