Description

Origional artwork of the beautiful Seal call Spearmint. This has been done to help raise money for her care and possible relocation. She lives in the area where I live and I always love hearing about what she is doing. When I recently heard that she needed help I wanted to raise money for her care.

This has been done with pastels on pastelmat. It is 27.5cm square.

Spearmint is a wild seal who, through no fault of her own, has become habituated to humans. Although at a young age she needed to be rehabilitated her interest in humans grew once was released as she was fed regularly by tourists. After multiple relocations she found Cawsand Bay where a team of volunteers were able to control the situation better and keep people away. We all hoped she would rewild but upon discovering Plymouth, this became more difficult and the feeding began once more, and bad habits remained. She more recently started to come onto roads and was becoming a real risk to herself and others. Now with Easter upon us and more people about it was decided to uplift her to the wonderful RSPCA Westhatch. They are now assessing what the next best move will be.
