Charity Auction is underway
Here is my framed Brown Long-Eared Bat painting that I have donated to The Derbyshire Bat Group.
The frame gives a floating effect & measures 35cm x 65cm. The colours in it coordinate with my painting perfectly. I’m so pleased with the result
Brown long-eared bats are one of the most common bats in the British Isles but are rarely recorded due to their quiet echolocation calls which make them extremely difficult to pick up on bat detectors. They whisper their ultrasonic calls so that moths don’t hear them approaching and so they need their huge ears to listen for the echoes coming back in the dark.
This painting is now open for bidding until 8pm on Halloween at https://www.jumblebee.co.uk/derbyshirebats.
The auction is on behalf of the Derbyshire Bat Group which is a registered charity (number 1139339) working across Derbyshire to conserve & protect its bats and their environment.

Testimonials
We commissioned Sarah to do a painting of our son's British Bulldog as a surprise birthday present. The result was stunning. Sarah was extremely helpful throughout the whole process advising on background colours and frame. We would have no hesitation in using Sarah and her skills again or in recommending her to anyone else.

Sarah has produced an amazing piece of art that captures Indie our Cockapoo beautifully. The attention to detail is incredible, Sarah listened to our ideas, colours of our choice and she cleverly included a background of our favourite magnolia tree in the garden. She not only has incredible talent she is totally reliable,open and communicative and someone we would trust to paint our precious pet. Thank you.

Sarah painted a beautiful picture of our beautiful Olivier. It made a lovely gift for my partner.
- Julie Podet (Edinburgh)
Sarah has painted us a wonderful picture of our dog Lily, still not found the very right spot for it yet at home due to decorating but we just love it! Sarah took the time to contact us about what kind of style/colour we wanted and we talked about traits we liked in Lily but ultimately we let her have “artistic licence” and we are not disappointed.
