I have always loved animals and now I am doing a lot of my paintings to benefit rescue groups. I wish I had the really big bucks to give them but I don't, so I give paintings. There are so many wonderful animal rescue groups out there. It's hard to mention them all but here are a few that I have bookmarked (in no particular order):

In Defense of Animals

Performing Animal Welfare Society

The Elephant Sanctuary

Joyce Poole's Elephant Voices

The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

The Elephant Nature Park in Thailand

African Wildlife Foundation

All for Elephants

Zoos Can Do Better

Born Free united with the Animal Protection Inst.

Friends of the Woodland Park Zoo Elephants
