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!



To start with, we will kick of with one of the puppies that came in with it's mother. The puppies have all now been re-homed, but we are still looking for a home for the mother of this little guy.



Here is her story:



And here is my interpretation of one of her puppies:



This painting is oil on canvasboard 8" x 10" and can be bought for 660dhs unframed.
