War of the Roses – Owd Lasses Signed Giclée Art Print

Yorkshire Rose and Lancashire Rose became neighbours in the summer of 1979, when Tom’s job brought him over from the wrong side of t’Pennines.

Yorkshire Rose loved gardening and soon got chatting over the fence to her new neighbour. Before long, the two women had bonded over motherhood, tennis club duties, Robert Redford and all the little things that turn neighbours into lifelong friends.

They remained inseparable for years.

Then came the WI event.

One disputed family recipe for pickled cabbage later, the friendship went spectacularly off the rails.

Neither woman has been able to face a hotpot since.

War of the Roses is part of my Owd Lasses collection — narrative paintings inspired by Northern women, everyday lives, old friendships, family stories and the humour tucked inside ordinary moments.

This is an open-edition signed giclée print, professionally mounted in a cream archival, acid-free mount.

  • Overall mounted size: 25cm x 25cm
  • Printed image size: 10cm x 10cm
  • Open edition
  • Signed by Sue Dewhurst
  • Supplied mounted and ready to place into a standard 25cm x 25cm frame
  • Includes a small printed Owd Lass story card

A lovely choice for anyone who enjoys Northern humour, nostalgic storytelling, characterful figurative art, or the eternal Yorkshire–Lancashire rivalry.

Art with a story — even if it isn’t yours.

Studio Visits

My studio is open by appointment, offering a relaxed chance to see the work up close, talk through ideas, and spend time with the paintings in the space they’re made. Visitors are welcome to browse finished pieces, view works in progress, and ask questions — no pressure, no white gloves, just an honest look at the process behind the work. If you’re considering a particular painting or commission, a studio visit allows time to connect with the story, the colour, the humour and the detail that doesn’t always come through on a screen. Expect conversation, a cuppa, might stretch to a custard cream and a bit of a gossip but always a very warm welcome.

Studio visits are designed to feel comfortable and welcoming — especially if you’ve never visited an artist’s studio before.
