Battersea Dogs Home 150th Anniversary

This is one of two pieces I’ve donated to The Battersea Dog and Cats Home to help raise funds. It’s their 150th anniversary this year and there’s a ball on the 25th of November. I hope Thrill Of The Chase will raise a bit of cash for them. Especially as the home has so many Staffordshire Bull Terriers needing a good home! I thought this 20×16 inch painting of a staffy chasing seagulls on the beach would be the right painting to donate.

This is one of the largest prints I’ve done. Its a 20×16 inch print of In The Pink in a 24×30 inch frame. This is the second piece I’ve donated to Battersea for their fund raising.

It was quite an adventure taking them over there in the high winds we had. For a couple of sticky moments I thought I might get blown across London, arriving by air instead of road! :-)

This is a very special painting. It’s going to be auctioned at the American Bullmastiff Association Art Auction, in Boston, on the 24th of September. The proceeds will go to the ABA to help with the work they do with bullmastiffs. All animals charities are struggling in these difficult times, so I hope this painting will help raise much needed funds for ABA and bullmastiffs.

Our annual open studio event is underway in Lingfield. As usual it’s been very busy, lots of people have been to visit us. This year as well as Lois and myself we have a jeweller, Helen Morris-Clarke, who has her beautiful jewellery on show in the gallery alongside the paintings. Follow the link to take a look at this years show, as well as photos of the animals who had plenty of visitors themselves.

On Saturday we had a Pimms afternoon. It was a lovely sunny day and we had some wonderful food to go with our Pimms. People came all through the afternoon and into the evening to look at the gallery, have a Pimms and enjoy chatting in the sunshine in the garden.

We are open again this week until Sunday.
