Michael Donald has been selected by Ronnie Wood to do new portraits of The Rolling Stones, the only series of contemporary portraits of the whole band to ever be released, to be displayed at Castle Fine Art from 7th Feb – 2nd March.
Half of the series was shot in Stagroves, the house Mick owned in 1971 where the band started to record Exile on Main Street. Ronnie was shot in London and Keith in New York. There are some fascinating stories to be told from the shoot.
East Sussex WRAS was established as a voluntary group in 1996, but some of its rescuers have been rescuing since 1985. The organisation was set up in order to provide a front-line rescue service for wildlife casualties who unlike their domesticated cousins, do not have owners to help look after them. WRAS covers a large area and works with 11 different veterinary practices.
On average it costs WRAS £65 to be on call for and respond to a call-out. The vans, the mobile phones, veterinary bills, equipment stored in the vans etc are expensive and need replacing on a regular basis. This is why they need your help.
Local pet and wildlife artist Sandra Palme is helping to raise funds for WRAS and has created a unique pastel portrait of a little fox cub exploring his world. You can win this beautiful portrait and support British wildlife at the same time. All you need to do is donate as little as £5 – either here http://www.justgiving.com/foxportrait or via PayPal (to donations@wildlifeambulance.org – just add the words “Fox raffle”). It’s similar to a raffle ticket and your name will be entered into the prize draw on 31st March 2012. If you donate £20, your name will be entered 5 times!
On behalf of WRAS, the many animals they rescue and nurse back to health and artist Sandra, thank you for your support!
