Eight Million Tons

Eight Million Tons

I am so very proud to be a Supporter of Paul Watson’s Foundation UK with my print of Eight Million Tons. The title refers to the amount of plastic dumped in our Oceans every single year and is available either as a Limited Edition Fine Art Giclee Print or as a smaller Poster Print.

The original painting is done in gesso, pastel, crayons and water-based mediums on canvas. I found the Mickey Mouse globe on their website amongst the photos of debris and plastic collected on the beaches around our coasts and decided it would make a great subject.

We are made up of the same salts, minerals and water as the sea itself so the sea is literally in our blood. We can’t live without it and it is impossible to think we are separate from it, so I am delighted and grateful to be able to support the wonderful work that the Foundation do, often right on the frontline of action, by donating 50% of the profit of every sale of the prints and posters to their work.
