I felt compelled to honour Suki's beloved Emily in some small way. You all know that music is my forte....not art....but, I thought I would create a little painting for our Suki. And, I have to tell you that I was able to do this thanks to the generosity of Soulbrush's heart and spirit. She sent me a huge parcel filled with paint, chalk, pens, pencils, brushes and ATC cards and told me to "get going and start creating". And so I have.
Suki, dear one, please accept this little painting (my first since I was six) in tribute to the beautiful Emily. I envision her in the Night Sky, smiling down at you and Bibs, as the Full Moon shines upon you all. Emily lives on in your heart (and Bib's heart) forever.
Love,
♥ Robin ♥
I typed something out and lost it...I said that I have had tears in my eyes over Sukis loss of Miss Em and this drawing really touched my heart because it is your first drawing in a long time and its wonderful and such a tribute to Suki.
ReplyDeleteOh this is so exciting. you got out the pens and paper and plunged in to make this beautiful Emily for me!!! Thank you so much, I am getting tears in my throat. I adore your drawing and hope you keep doing more. Was it fun?
ReplyDeleteCris, hello... thank you for your kind words about my little drawing... I just HAD to do it for Suki. I have lost beloved pets before and it is really hard to deal with.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Suki, I DID get out Jossie's art supplies....
ReplyDeleteI NEEDED to do something for you, for Emily....
it is not GREAT art....but is comes straight from my heart to you.
It was, actually, fun....I will do it again.....Jossie, d'ya here that?
Sending you and Bibs much love and many, many hugs...I thought about you all day.

Oh Robin, I love this! It is darling and so sweet of you to do for Em and Suki, and so dear of Jossie to send you those supplies!
ReplyDeleteLove all around just makes more joy and more love. Keep it up!
xoxo

ReplyDeleteWell there missy, if this isn't the sweetest thing! I know Suki will treasure this and I'm sure it helps comfort her.
ReplyDeleteLook at you, stepping out of your comfort zone and creating this heartfelt piece. Yay you!
I love it!
xoxo
Lo♥
Anne, you are TOO SWEET to like my "art"....but, it did come from the heart....as YOU know I have suffered the loss of three cats in my life...and how much Isolde meant (and still means) to me....
ReplyDeleteI am still awed by all of the amazing people out here in the Blogging World......(can you hear Renee laughing at me)!!!!
Love,
♥ Robin ♥
Jossie, my MUSE.... I would have NEVER had the courage to put a drawing on paper....most of my life, I have sung or acted or written.... I AM passionate about painting.....but just gave up on it....so....you, sweet and spicy one....have pushed me to go on with my life and give it a try.... one day, be it in London or San Francisco, we WILL meet and I will take you to a wonderful dinner... and that STILL will not be enough....
ReplyDeleteLove, always,
♥ Robin ♥
LoLoLO.... you KNOW what is took for me to pick up a brush and some pencils and begin to draw.....BUT.....the wonderful thing about our blogging family is that we ACCEPT and we ENCOURAGE.... I'm not used to getting either....but, I am beginning to open up and try...... YOU KNOW this.....
ReplyDeleteLove to you.....the "special day" is almost here!
Love, Love,
♥ Robin ♥
Robin, I love your little painting. It is so sweet, and full of love. You keep painting! xox!
ReplyDeletePam
Isn't Joss just the bees knees?? I love that she inspired you Robin, and I think your painting is really good. So many people under-estimate the effects of losing a beloved pet. Bless your heart, not you though.
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you how I've been getting on with Wagner? I have listened to The Ring Cycle and have moved on (thankfully my mum has a good sized opera collection) to Tristan und Isolde, which I am enjoying immensely.
You pointed me in the right direction Robin. I never could resist genuine enthusiasm and yours just shines right out to me. Thank you. xx Jos
Pam..... thank you for your kind words about my "fledgling" art.... it definitely was created out of love....and after all, that's what it's all about, right?
ReplyDeleteHugs,
♥ Robin ♥
Dear Jos, you are SO RIGHT! Jossie IS the "Bees Knees"....(although that sounds so grammatically incorrect)! I do understand that losing a pet is like losing a child to many... and Emily was such a beauty...
ReplyDeleteOMG.....do you realise how HAPPY you have made me by relating your "Wagner" tales? If my enthusiasm has played any little part in your entering Wagner's wonderful world of love and life, then I can exhale and feel I have done something worthwhile....your Mum is quite a woman to have all these Operas....and you - as gifted and artistic as you are....it's HUGE!
You must also listen to "Die Meistersinger".....a "comic" - though bittersweet opera....one of his best....
I am hugging you for "getting it"....
Love,
♥ Robin ♥
Oh brill ... I will ask my mum if she has Die Meistersinger when she returns from her hols. She is totally amazed at my new found enthusiasm for what she terms "real opera". I think perhaps I just needed to cut my teeth on the lighter Italian stuff ... an aperitif perhaps.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you too Robin. xx Jos
O so sweet!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tribute you made for Suki's cat!
And what a great idea of Suki to send you these things.
Yes girl, start creating. I am sure there is an artist in you!
I love the crow you have created for Lo as well!
You just have to find your way in it...... once you find out that there will be no stopping you.
Just let me know when you are ready to trade!
♥♥♥

...great art does come from the heart and just to know you were thinking of Suki and her loss...so sweet and life affirming to have friends like you!
