Suki's Emily


Okay, I have been absent long enough.
I really miss posting and visiting, so I'm going to start with the very last painting I did and then hopefully have more to post very soon.

This is a portrait of our friend Suki's beloved and sorely missed cat, Miss Emily Dickinson.
I went to Suki's blog and borrowed a photo to paint from. The photo wasn't very clear but I did my best to capture her spirit. Suki approved and was quite touched and grateful.
It's a simple portrait trying to capture an enormous little spirit.
We are never, ever ready to let them go, but we must in order for them to move on.

I hope to be back soon with something new from my easel. I miss you all!

  1. Welcome back and yes you were sorely missed.
    The kitty portrait is beautifully done; and I've no doubt that it brought a tear to her eye and warmth to her heart, our dear Suki.
    Very thoughtful and sweet of you to do.

  4. I've been gone awhile too so had not noticed you were away from the computer. I don't know Suki but have seen her comments here and there - your portrait of her cat is beautiful and treasured I'm sure.

  5. This is such a thoughtful and loving gift to Suki!
    And yes I saw it before but it is better to see it in a post of you!!! ;)
    It is a lovely capture of Emily! Sure Suki will always treasure it!
    I love how she is staring at a certain point and no one can do animal eyes better than you dear!

    Good to see you doing a post.
    I am also trying my best to show up at blogger but sometimes I am just busy just like you and all I can do is try my best.

    You take care dear!!!

  6. It's a gorgeous painting and Suki will always look at it. I look at mine (of Samson) everyday to say "hi boy". Your pet paintings are just wonderful - really.
