WILDLIFE ART

For several years I have sold wildlife art to raise money for charity (see below for charities supported).
I have recently added some landscape prints, with an emphasis on the Lake District.
Please take a look at the work of the artists listed below:

	GARY HODGES Gary has been creating limited edition pencil drawings of wildlfie subjects since 1989 and has a huge following; many of his prints sell at a huge premium on the secondary market and his originals have sold for many thousands of pounds at auction.
	MARTIN RIDLEY Martin is an outstanding young artist working primarily in oils. His paintings are of the wildlife and landscape of Scotland where he lives, many of which are available as giclee prints.
	FREEHAND PAINTED CHINA Stephen Smith and Terry Halloran gained an international reputation as two of the world's leading painters of miniature copper enamels, having introduced the technique of painting detailed images inside small vases. They now paint small limited editions on china, in both large and miniature designs, achieving remarkable detail in this difficult medium.
	NEIL BARLOW Neil is regarded as one of Scotland's foremost painters of mountain landscapes in watercolour. He was born in Manchester but now lives and works in the West of Scotland, where he gains inspiration for his stunningly beautiful mountain paintings of Scotland, Wales and the English Lake District.
	KEITH MELLING Keith Melling is one of England's leading landscape painters, having worked in a variety of media and styles for over 35 years. He has his own gallery near Burnley. As well as traditonal Lake District subjects, there are prints in a more contemporary style of paintings of the Yorkshire Dales and Pendle areas.
	SOUTH LAKES PANORAMAS Martin is an outstanding young artist working primarily in oils. His paintings are of the wildlife and landscape of Scotland where he lives, many of which are available as giclee prints.

CHARITIES

I try to support one project each year. In 2006 the money raised will be used to pay for contractors to carry out some habitat restoration work at Witherslack, an important site where some of Britain's most endangered butterflies, like the High Brown Fritillary, Pearl-bordered Fritillary and Duke of Burgundy, occur.

THE FOLLOWING CONSERVATION CHARITIES HAVE RECEIVED DONATIONS IN PREVIOUS YEARS:
RSPB - for reserve purchase in the flow country of Scotland
BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION - habitat conservation for endangered species
CUMBRIA WILDLIFE TRUST - reserve management
BORN FREE - returning a leopard to the wild
EIA - investigating illegal trade in tigers

THE FOLLOWING NON-WILDLIFE CHARITIES HAVE ALSO RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL DONATIONS FROM PROCEEDS:
ACTION AID - supporting education and healthcare in Mozambique and Brazil
WATER AID - providing wells in Third World countries.
WESTON SPIRIT - confidence and skills building schemes for young people in inner cities in Britain.
