"Fluffy, a Pomeranian" pastel 8" x 10"
Sadly Fluffy died this past week, of natural causes but still devastating. Fluffy lives in Beirut, Lebanon, so this portrait has a long way to go before it reaches "home". He was a rescue by one of the founders of BETA (the only animal shelter of it's kind in Lebanon) and then given to a family member. BETA are an incredible group and many of their dogs now have homes not only in Lebanon but also Canada and the U.S. Not just dogs, any animal.
April 20th.
Fluffy arrived and is hanging on the wall, where he is ALWAYS visible. I understand, on first seeing in the morning, the picture makes his owner cry - but for the rest of the day, it makes her smile! And soon I hope it will be smiles ALL the time.
Enjoy!

This pastel of fluffy is amazing! I have a friend, named Cazzie. She lost her pomeranian (named Latishia) to lymphoma in February of 2013 and Cazzie still misses her every day. Cazzie is in poor health and had to be moved to a skilled nursing facility 2 months ago. She has been feeling bored and depressed over her situation. I have been teaching her to cross stitch as a way to keep busy. I was thinking of creating a cross stich project for her of a dog that looks like Latishia so that she could frame it and keep it near her bed. The pastel of Fluffy looks a lot like Latishia and the story of Fluffy's owner reminds me of Cazzie. I would love to use this jpeg as the basis for a cross stitch project! I know it would mean a lot to her. :)
