Another Crabby Chicken Painting

[HobbsFarm]

[SIZE=14pt]We lost our Golden Retriever a couple of weeks ago to a rare lung infection. It was totally unexpected and the sad thing is that he was only four years old. We had gotten Bo at the same time that our son was born so that they could grow up together and be best buddies. He was also my husband's duck dog. He was such a sweet and happy dog.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=14pt]Here is his tribute video I made for him if you would like to watch.

[SIZE=14pt]But I also wanted to show off my painting that Kim did for us. She could not have done a better job of capturing who Bo really was to us. At the bottom is the main picture that she used but had a couple of others as well. I hope she will post if she has a better shot of the painting than mine. Thank you Kim!

Thank you all so much!!!

When Shannon asked me to do Bo, I almost declined because I had never painted a dog, and it was scary to me when you have never met the animal...

But I tell you, there is nothing like that feeling when someone tells you that you painted 'their" pet correctly. I have been having so much fun doing these. :aktion033:

Thank you all again!

You have a talent equal to or more than those of us who can empathize with our animal friends. Your ability to capture the essence of each one is uncanny and always accurate. I applaud you and your gift! :aktion033:

Shannon...the painting is priceless...what an awesome memorial

So real, you just want to reach out and touch him.

*Great work Kim ... you are so blessed with your gift.

So real, you just want to reach out and touch him.

[SIZE=14pt]Teri, funny you should say that. Hall (my four year old) the first thing he did when I showed him was lean up and kiss Bo on the nose. I almost lost it! Then I just kissed him too and felt a little better.

aaawwww that's just lovely.

: you had me in tears with the first post with the picture... and the more i read, the harder they fell. you guys are right, Kim has an awesome gift! and Shannon i'm so sorry you lost your Bo but what a great remembrance of him... he looks so REAL i have to say, be sure to hang it low enough on the wall that when he jumps out of the picture he doesn't hurt himself!

OMG Shannon,,,,

That is so sweet, you just about made me cry,,,, poor little boy.

And Bonnie, I could never do something as important as what you and Debbie and others do with helping communicate with our beloved animals.

Thank you everyone else, you guys make me feel so good.

And Bonnie, I could never do something as important as what you and Debbie and others do with helping communicate with our beloved animals.

But Kim, you do...look at the emotion and the comfort you give to those you create for. No less important in my humble opinion. I look at my portrait of Treasure each day, several times a day and I can talk to her, and miss her and love her still, yet see her with my eyes as well as my heart thanks to you and your talented gift.
