Handsome bronze study of three Swifts certain to attract keen bidding during online charity auction

                                                                 

Whoosh - you can almost hear the sound of this Swift flypast   

 

A STRIKING bronze scuplture of three Swifts is one of the star lots in a currently-running online charity auction.

The work by by 67-year-old former soldier Mark Coreth is expected to fetch between £5,000 and £7,000 by the time the sale ends on October 26.

It was in Kenya, where he spent his early life, that Coreth developed his love of wild life.

Also up for bids is an enchanting painting of House Sparrows by 28-year-old Ambleside-based artist Daisy Scott-Bennett. It is expected to sell for betweem £350 and £450.

Proceeds of these and 88 other lots will go to the charity, Horatio's Garden, which, in beautiful settings, nurtures the wellbeing of people who have suffered spinal injuries.

More details of the auction, the lots and the artists are available from Salisbury-based auction house Woolley and Wallis at: https://www.woolleyandwallis.co.uk/
