These paintings of Abu Dhabi are reproduced by kind permission of the Artist John WardEver since I can remember my Dad ( John Ward ) has been fascinated by the explorations of
Wilfred Thesiger.
When my husband's work took us to Abu Dhabi, Dad was delighted to get the opportunity to see those Arabian deserts for himself. 
Mum was also interested to visit Abu Dhabi (besides wanting to come and visit me of course). A work colleague of hers, Susan Hillyard, had actually lived in Abu Dhabi in the 1950's. She'd heard much about Abu Dhabi from Sue, and although the City is now unrecognisable from her time in Abu Dhabi, Before the Oil we managed to track down some old photos of Abu Dhabi so that we could compare how life in a bedouin camp was then against life in the City now.Feel free to contact John Ward via our Contact Form
