When
I first heard about the Eels in Schools Project last year I thought it
was a wonderful opportunity to get involved by raising money to help
fund the release of young elvers in Potteric Carr Nature Reserve.
There
are enough suitable reed beds to hold nesting Bitterns and by releasing
eels into the wetlands both fish and Bitterns would benefit from the
reintroduction.
I decided I could raise funds by donating some of my paintings to be raffled and YWT agreed it was a good idea.The
Four Seasons Raffle comprises four large paintings, one for each season
of
the year, each one to be raffled separately in the appropriate
season throughout 2014.
Huxter Well Marsh Autumn
This is the fourth and final painting, tickets will be available in Reception at Potteric Carr and also
up until the end of the exhibition when the winning ticket will be drawn.
