'The Refuge'

Picture
Title: The Refuge
Image size: 280x525mm
Original Availability: For Sale
Giclee Prints Available: Yes

The peace and serenity of a morning's walk along a lagoon was shattered by gunfire.  A few moments later two mallards glided to the safety of the wildlife refuge.  It seemed bizarre that on the other side of the hills ducks fell prey to the killing frenzy that is duck shooting season, yet only metres away the birds were safe.  As these birds flew in to land I was struck by their grace and agility and wondered, not for the first time, how anyone could take pleasure from killing and maiming these beautiful creatures.

Proceeds from the sale of this painting and prints will be donated to SAFE For Animals, New Zealand's leading animal advocacy charity committed to creating a future that ensures the rights of animals.
