Teela's Portrait

I did a portrait in Polychromos of one of my soulmates, my beloved departed Teela.
It took me awhile as I just kept getting so emotional whenever I worked on it,
her getting so sick so suddenly, us doing everything we could but not being able to save her,
never really knowing what happened to her because I just couldn't agree to an autopsy,
her dying at such a young age, her leaving her bonded mate Yuuji behind...

hers is a loss that I carry with me every day that's all I can say.
But that's all sad stuff...this picture is about her beautiful amazing spirit.
She was just pure sunshine to me...in fact I sang her that song every day at bedtime!
I knew upon minutes after adopting her that loosing her would be impossible for me, I just knew.
She was our very first shelter adoption &
she helped pave the road for so many others to come after her.
She was magic.  She was my best friend.  She was my baby girl.  She was my heart.
This ones's for her.
  I might release limited edition prints but I am not sure yet, I'll let you know.

I've Been Thinking About Interviews

So I have for quite some time been thinking on how I can reach new kindred spirits & connect?

But not just to connect but share the beauty of that connection too, so therefore,

how could I use my blog to do so?

For about two years now I've been intrigued

by the idea of interviewing people on this beloved spot of mine.

But not just anyone...

Artists but even more specifically tenacious artists, like me, who create with chronic pain.

And artists or non-artists who love animals and make their lives & families around them.

 

 

Do you think it sounds good?

I'd like to begin soon because enough is enough...I shouldn't procrastinate on it any longer.

Connection is a thing of beauty and is sadly becoming rarer as the world gets meaner.

I know I am definitely not the only migraine/headache suffering artist out there

nor by far the only one obsessed, devoted, fulfilled and in love with a life revolving around animals.

I want to find more of these fellow souls and I want you to meet them too.

 

So let me ask you, do you know any people who fits either or both of these descriptions???

Email me at Whimsy@MandySaile.com

and let me know or maybe you have a great idea of where I can find such people

and maybe I'll connect with them & than maybe you'll see them here.

Yayyyy!
