One-a-week animal portraits

I am an artist who loves animals, especially dogs and horses. In the past few years we moved to live in Abu Dhabi. In that time, I have become quite involved in a pet rescue organisation called "The Strays of Abu Dhabi". They are a non-profit organisation which takes stray and abandoned animals - mostly dogs - off the streets of Abu Dhabi and tries to find new homes for them.



In the next year, I am planning to do one painting a week for the the Strays of Abu Dhabi and donate the proceeds from the sales of the paintings to the Strays of Abu Dhabi.



Please follow my progress!
