Isherwood traveled all over the UK during his career, scouring for subject matter. 'Mother Lily' always accompanied 'Jim' around the UK to his exhibitions and painting locations.

The death of 'Mother Lily'  in 1973, threw Isherwood into the depths of despair and alcohol. In the mid 70's , 'Jim' and partner Pat White/Isherwood traveled Europe together. They stayed in Spain and Malta, 'Jim's' work re-ignited into a prolific and important period. His work from this period is characterised by blasts of bright colour. Isherwood was happy and content with life again . Isherwood even held shows in Southern Spain and was exhibited in Malta's Fine Art Museum in Valetta. His landscapes are now being re-discovered , by a growing number of followers.
