Okay - back to oil this week. This is Dude. I wanted to give the sense of the sort of locations some of the Strays of Abu Dhabi are found. My dog, for instance was found near the beach on Al Salam street in Abu Dhabi, some dogs just get tied to a tree in the park, Dude was found wandering in Khalifa City, some dogs are just dumped in cardboard boxes as puppies - one such set was found in the airport car park, and another set were found at the cricket stadium.
The reasons why people do this are numerous, but it is an aspect of our "throw away" society. Things we don't want we throw away, without much concern for what happens next. It is true for the environment, and it is true for many of the dogs in Abu Dhabi.
This painting is not yet finished. I will try to finish it during the week. It is raining here - so I have no excuse!
