Heavy commission
18 years ago
General
This one is hard. Maybe I should have a couple more beers. I'd like to commission a memorial drawing of my puppy Joon who died last year at this time. Actually I'd like it to be of both Benny and Joon and the theme would be them in the setting of Hans Christian Anderson's "The Steadfast Tin Soldier". let me tell you Joon's story.
Last year I saw an add in the local LJ feed where someone was looking for a home for two pups who'd been found abandoned in some asshole's house. The house was literally full of shit and piss and it was obvious that, although they'd been well fed and hadn't been abused, they had never been outside of that house. It was a beautiful Cinderella story. They went from that shit-hole to a country paradise. They were very close of course and obviously so happy out here. Nothing but fields and forests to frolic in.
Pictures speak louder than words. I'll let these speak for me.

And a year later words fail me. She was my sun-dog.

It's been a year and I can still hardly bear to look at the pictures I have. This is the one that brings to mind a strong noble soldier, my Benny, and a beautiful dancer, my Joon.

Not an easy commission, not to be taken lightly. Anyone doing this will have to put a lot of heart into it but it will be something that you can be very proud of. That's about all I can say about this now. I'm going to have to put on something to work the sad out of me. This is what I used last year, sounds about right.

hope this helps you
\"Think,\" she went on, stroking my cheeks with a bouquet of jasmine, \"next year when you smell these flowers, you will be breathing the soul of your former friend; and as the scent rises to the fibers of your brain, it will implant in your mind some pleasant thoughts and force you to think of me.\"
How sadly happily sad.
It would be painted on cotton not canvas and all I ask for payment would be the cost of the post but it proberly take a month or so to finish though
Also if the pics you give for ref dont move me then I wont paint it as it means alot to you and I would only do it with my heart in the right place

Joon is the light tan one of course. My favorite pics of her are the ones of her mothering and cuddling with the kitten who wandered into our place. So sweet. Her and Benny used to Yin-Yang with her in the center.
