Had the wonderful news today that my miniature painting of Effie (above) made the shortlist and has been selected for the Wildlife Artist of the Year international 'Art for Survival' exhibition organised by The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation. The show is held at The Mall Galleries in London and runs from 24th - 29th May. 50% from every sale is donated to help fund the foundation's ongoing conservation projects.

Very pleased :)
