1st August already, and am getting very excited about my exhibition at St Simon and St Jude's Church in Winterborne Monkton Dorset from 11-13th August, it's a beautiful old English church in a very pretty Dorset village completely accessible by the main road from Weymouth to Dorchester or vice versa. There will be cakes, teas and coffees available. The other great news is that www.explorersagainstextinction have accepted three of my pieces for their online auction which start

Another of my sketch for survival pieces - I have already sent a cuckoo drawing to Sketch for Survival which had to only take 26 minutes the time it takes for an African elephant to be poached and shot for it's tusks. But I wanted to do more so I have decided to complete as much as I can to contribute towards the conservation of endangered species in Africa. #WildlifeArtExhibition #sketchforsurvival #crownedcranesketch #explorersagainstextinction #africanwildlifesketches #afr

I am currently working on several images for Sketch for Survival I would love to be able to put them all here but once I have completed them they will then go to The Real World Conservation Trust who will exhibit them and hopefully they will raise loads of money for endangered African wildlife and yes I do know that I am usually a predominantly British wildlife artist but sometimes it makes a change to work on subjects with which I am not familiar and it makes me feel great t
