We are running a online auction that will end on Sunday 18th May at midday. The auction will be for a pet portrait, 12x10 inches, painted acrylic on canvas. There will be a reserve of £40.00. “Expressionist artist Alice Nimmo, looks to the wonders of the natural world for inspiration. She has a particular love of animals and enjoys capturing their unique characteristics and emotions in her colourful and detailed paintings. After creating family pet portraits to give as gifts, demand grew for her work and she now paints pet portraits professionally. Alice is never happier than when she is in the zone creating something beautiful, and loves to share this magic with others. Hearing about the urgent appeal for funds at Woodside, she immediately offered her support and gifted a pet portrait commission to help raise funds.” We are very grateful to Alice for helping to raise money for our new Mews special care cat unit. You can see more of her work on instagram @aliceoliviaart. To bid please enter in comments or pm us and will update the post regularly with highest bidder. (fb)
