You may remember that my sweet Cloudy cat passed away shortly after Christmas. My painter-artist friend Cindy offered to paint Cloudy's portrait for me. Well, she brought it to me today and I just HAD to share it with you! Its excellent! No, its BEYOND excellent!!
This is the picture she worked from:
And this is her masterpiece:
And yes, of course, I burst into tears when she gave it to me.....such a crybaby, I am. I absolutely love it! She said it 'painted up' really quickly and she mentioned to me how sometimes the paintings just come together and other times she struggles with them. Just like beading! That happens to me all the time, too.
I will treasure this always...................Thanks Cindy!

What a lovely remembrance of Cloudy! Beautiful work!
Lynn it's beautiful! How wonderful for your friend to do that for you! I would be crying too :-)
What a treasure! She did an awesome job of your kitty...I can see how you would be so touched! Just want to send you a huge hug and a great ole big thank you !!!!
How thoughtful.
Shortly after my two favorite dogs (brothers) died, my daughter placed their portrait in a glass frame and etched the picture into the glass. She HATES crafts, so that gesture was so heartwarming.
Only the receiver of such a gift can fully understand how special the gift is, and the special feelings you have for the giver.
You are blessed.
Cindy did an amazing job! Cloudy looks so sweet! I came across your blog via Bellesanbeaus Crafts. :) ~Val
