Bearded Dragon © Tracy Hall 2011
3.5" x 1.5" watercolour on rag board
Last weekend my daughter and I spent a wonderful day at Nick Martin's exotic animal rescue centre in Inverness - Creatures Great and Small. Nick takes in reptiles and other creatures from the public, the SSPCA and other organisations across the UK. As his charity receives no external funding, he also gives talks and visits to help meet the considerable costs involved in caring for them all. There are no regulations to control the sale of these creatures and they are readily available from pet shops. While some are knowledgeable and offer advice and support, some are not, leading to the sad need for centres such as Nick's to pick up the pieces. His knowledge and dedication are amazing - not to mention his endless patience and good humour!
I completed this miniature painting of a bearded dragon this week and proceeds from the sale will be donated to the centre. It is priced at £350, framed and ready to hang.
If you would be interested in purchasing please click here for full details or if you have any questions do get in touch. Alternatively you can make a donation of any amount to help fund the centre on their website via paypal.
