Happy tears for Jack 1 Attachment(s) This unbelievable painting arrived in the mail this week from YT's snoopy42, aka Joan, a very kind and sensitive person. I can't take my eyes off it. It is Jack at his finest, tiny yet stout, brave beyond description and ruggedly handsome. The artist did an incredible job. I can see the personality and wisdom in his eyes. For those who may be new to YT, Jack, my 13-year-old rescue, died on Feb. 8 of this year. The outpouring of condolences on YT and elsewhere left me speechless. I knew he was a special little man, but I had no idea how many people from all over the country and all over the world were moved by his courage and adventures. I wrote a few blogs on his passing if anyone is curious how a 4-pound geriatric Yorkie could touch so many lives. Joan's incredible gift is one of dozens we've received, and as with the rest of them, it is destined for a featured spot in our home. "Thanks" isn't enough, but it's all I have! Here's the portrait. It measures 16" x 20". |
That painting is unbelievable. It almost looks like a photograph. What an amazingly talented artist. Thanks for sharing. Michele :-) |
OMG Mike is all I can say on this painting. It's like Jack is real and you can just reach out and touch him. What an amazing artist to capture Jack as we all knew him.:animal-pa |
What a very special gift from an obviously very special person. It is also a beautiful piece of art. |
ZOMG! I can see life in those eyes. What a treasure! Just, WOW.:eek: |
OMG...What an incredible, beautiful gift! How wonderful and thoughtful! Now Jack has truly been immortalized!:D |
What an amazing, generous gift! The artist is truly talented. And your thread title is so right - I'm wiping away happy tears right now! |
Happy tears it is! I was a very new member on this forum when Jack passed. It was my first R.I.P. thread I read and I was so touched by the thread and your blogs. I remember sitting at work that day with tears streaming down my face just like they are now. :) I didn't even know your little guy and yet I felt as if it was me losing him...so touched I was by the raw emotions you were feeling and expressing. This picture is amazing! I opened it up and it filled my 17" computer screen. I felt as if I could reach out and pet him. I suspect your precious Jack has touched us all. What a beautiful tribute to pay to him. Thank you once again for sharing. |
The portrait is amazing. It captures Jack so well and his eyes look alive and bright. Its beautiful. Just looking at it brings tears to my eyes as i remember what a great little guy jack was. I miss seeing him in videos and pictures. |

What a beautiful and fitting tribute to Jack. I know that must have brought tears to your eyes. I did not know we had such an amazing and gracious artist within our midst. How thoughtful of her to do that for you in Jack's memory. |
