I left a long comment on this photo during the voting and I am not sure how it managed to not get saved. It was my favorite of the challenge nd I m glad that many others felt the same way
I'm sorry I missed the voting on this challenge Lydia. I didn't see your entry until now. I am very sentimental when it comes to our pets from the past and present. This portrait really touched my heart! What a wonderful tribute.
Congrats Lydia. I absolutely remembered the original (and that it was yours) but I couldn't find it when I went looking. I'm so sorry that you no longer have your little model. ((()))
Tell me you didn't?! What size is that print on the wall? Has to be at least 20" on the long side. :-) Dedication to your craft, or at least this challenge. Nice! Minor nit ... the floor board and chair look tilted. Maybe it's just the perspective.
This almost has a quietly compelling, almost bittersweet quality to it. Whether intentional or not, my first thought upon viewing it was--is the pet deceased now? That's a sign of effective art.
