Stella Vine and the Bronte sisters


Adelle and I have been helping out with this project. Words taken from Adelle's Dark Satanic Mills blog:

Stella Vine is helping out the Haworth church campaign by creating this new painting of Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte.

Signed, limited edition prints are available to buy from Stella’s website (www.stellavine.com) and she will be giving all profits to the fund. She is planning to donate the painting to a local gallery.

The church’s roof has been the victim of two metal thefts in the past 18 months and is in a huge state of disrepair. The Bronte chapel is inside the church. The last time I visited they had made a paper prayer tree near the vestry. It had messages on it from people all around the world. Some of the messages said things like ‘I really miss my husband, please look after him up there’ or ‘take care of the poor racehorses who died running’. It was really touching and I had a little cry when I read them. Sometimes poetry appears in the places you least expect.
