I found another artist who has painted our sweet little puffin. This one fits his personality, doesn’t it?

For the Love of Animals !

This is what this shop is about – my love of animals, painting them and selling art that helps protect them.

At eastwitching I am using my art to help people to appreciate animals and the integral part they have in our world. I hope to help raise awareness of animal rights, reduce suffering and cruelty by being able to donate what I can each month to several international charities as a result of sales on Etsy.

INTERESTING FACT
It was onced believed that a Puffin was a fish as well as a bird. People thought it was born from rotting piece of wood floating in the sea, instead of hatching out from an egg as we know it does today.
