A dear friend Sherri wants to give her husband a special gift this Christmas, and thinking of their dog Oreo who is his friend through thick and thin, she wanted to have a painting of her (its okay to post just days before, I know Dave wont look here). I know Oreo well, and I was very honoured to have given this task to create this gift. I made it in ink and water colours, and just a touch of acrylic (the snow flakes and some of the white touches through out). Then sadly, I received a phone call yesterday from Sherri, and sweet dear Oreo had passed away, we all knew this was just matter of time, but it still came sudden and even when you know, its still never easy. See Oreo was at a good old age of 15, and even on her last day, she walked with Dave to work (she did every day, rain or shine) they were truly best of friends and she passed away in his arms.
This is for you Miss Oreo, you were a fantastic gal, with your crocked smile, half tale and for being that perfect big ball of fluff. You will be missed.
We don't have snow, just wet conditions and when its not wet, we have cold air thick with heavy fog just hanging above you like a lid... Today, its sunny and blue skies (first time in weeks), but no snow and its hard to get in to the Christmas spirit when it feels more like end of October...
I so hope it will snow for Christmas!
