Winifred Mary Newbery Brunton

Winifred Mary Newbery Brunton is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Winifred Brunton kept a pet parrot named Caesar that perched on her shoulder while she painted. Her watercolors read like family photos: a child’s first steps, a holiday tea, an aunt’s hands mending a sock, nothing grand, just life as it unfolded. Look for There were Giants in those days on the gallery’s second floor; it’s a quiet room where the light through the skylight makes the paint glow like stained glass.
