Their mission is to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;For 50 years, WWF has been protecting the future of nature. The world’s leading conservation organization, WWF works in 100 countries and is supported by close to 5 million members globally. WWF’s unique way of working combines global reach with a foundation in science, involves action at every level from local to global and ensures the delivery of innovative solutions that meet the needs of both people and nature. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I only use the highest quality, professional products when creating all my artwork. Ensuring that these paintings can be passed down to future generations. I support WWF to help ensure that the animals in the paintings are also around for future generations to enjoy. </description>

This was quite a challenge considering not only the creation of artwork but then varnishing it properly so that it could be a functional piece in the kitchen. The Country Flowers add to the charm of the happy yellow space. </description>

I created three paintings on the three exterior doors of her lovely home. I still need to return and varnish the paintings on Monday. More images to come. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Below are the back Iris Door and the Shed Tulip Door. </description>
