So often I’m asked to paint a beloved pet who has passed away. Some have been commissioned as gifts from loved ones, some from close friends and many are commissioned by the grieving owners. I hear stories of these wonderful furbabies and I grieve with each and every one. I’ve lost a few of my own over the years and I know how heart-wrenching it can be.

I’ve seen an increase this year, even painting a few who have been at the Rainbow Bridge for many years. It is an awesome feeling  that I’m creating a memorial that will be cherished for years to come. With my art, I hope to bring a happy memory that might heal even a tiny part of a broken heart.

 For those who have loved and lost, they are never really gone as long as you can remember them in your heart.
