Sometimes good things can happen when you don’t expect them
This is one of those moments
I am looking for someone special to add the final and most important layer to this painting – it’s meaning
- Do you like the painting?
- Can you imagine having this art work in your home?
- Are you a dog lover?
If your answer to these three questions is yes,
Welcome to my project
Art to help dogs in need
My project is simple – I do not sell my paintings. I ask for a donation made to my chosen charity StreetLife and give the painting as my personal thank you gift.
You are standing here in front of this painting at this moment, because:
- the Real Marina Hotel & Spa Olhão is supporting this art project by kindly providing me with this space completely free of charge. This means 100% of all donations go directly to the charity.
- there are many tens of thousands of dogs in this country waiting in shelters to be adopted. Many of them will never leave the shelters because the number of dogs in need for homes hopelessly outnumber the people able and willing to adopt.
- every year countless unwanted puppies are dumped alive in cardboard boxes or plastic bags in the countryside and road side rubbish bins and left to die under horrific circumstances.
- your donation would help sterilise 2 to 3 female dogs.
- the project has proven to be a success. Sterilisation is the only way forward to reduce the number of unwanted puppies and strays.
My “Art to help dogs in need” project working with StreetLife Animal Sterilisation Programme is a great team effort helping families on low incomes in our local community. You could have one of these paintings in your home, as a daily reminder every time you look at your piece of art, of the help you have given to improve the lives of many dogs.
I can create the art – you can give it it’s meaning. Together we can make a difference!
