This made me cry. We have the ashes from all our beloved pets - Champ, Maggie, Paris, and now Missy. I miss all of them so much, but Missy was the hardest. I'm a watercolor artist, so I painted a portrait of Missy. Everyday I look at it is the hardest because I can hear her whimper like she did so often, to get my attention. Hard part is that her painting was judged into a show and if she wins a ribbon, she'll go on a traveling show till February of 2015 and I won't have her with me. My plan is to paint a portrait of all my pets to have on hand as a memorial.
That is really wonderful, Renee. Are you able to post a photo of your painting, or is it against contest rules? Be sure to get a really good copy made, at Kinko's or somewhere like that, just in case anything might happen to your painting on tour. I know exactly what you mean about the unique little things Missy did. It's impossible to explain to someone who is not a pet person. All of us here totally get it, though.
I'll post a picture of Missy's painting. Each painting I finish, I have a digital copy made and for some, I have a giclee made so that I can add it to my portfolio. Missy's is one that I did both.
