You are so brave and your posts change me every time. I just know you are going to take off and your wings will carry you, having gathered strength from all that you have gone through. And nothing fuels work more than love for what you are doing, that will be enough. You will change and perhaps adjust in unexpected ways but you will fly. xcaroline : my pockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04538472415957110705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-51184810397609873902008-04-03T20:41:00.000-05:002008-04-03T20:41:00.000-05:00Jessie, I am sitting here with tears running down ...Jessie, I am sitting here with tears running down my cheeks... you have such a wonderful gift. You don't just PAINT dog pictures, you capture their very souls onto the canvas. I can feel it when I look at each portrait you have done.<BR/><BR/>Right now my little Sony is having some severe health problems... I can hardly grasp the fact that she may have to 'leave' me... When she does, you can be sure I will contact you for a portrait of her.

You are an amazing artist whose love for your subject imbues your work.

Just keep with this...Jessie, I am so happy for you. Just keep with this. It will never be worth it to trade this for a wage job. <BR/><BR/>I see you as entering into the soul of the dog (dead or alive) and being able to convey the love that was the relationship into art. This is such a gift.<BR/><BR/>My dogs have been dead for over 10 years and the love has never died---it still exists somewhere---and I do believe you could paint it and give it back to me in a form that I could re-member every time I look at my painting. When dogs teach us about love they are an instrument in the hand of the Divine and they can never be "just" anything, as anyone who has ever loved a dog knows. <BR/><BR/>It seems to me as though you have found a sacred calling. <BR/><BR/>Blessings to you, grace, and continued joy, O xxooOliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058356843151306428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-55534817216804209792008-04-03T07:13:00.000-05:002008-04-03T07:13:00.000-05:00Oh you are so talented.

You're really capturing the joy of their spirit.<BR/><BR/>I told my husband that you did this kind of work and he teared up, he thought it was such a beautiful thing. And it is! If I had a dog (and one day I will) you will be her artist.Suzie Ridlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603343663483772145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-40656475769083319352008-04-03T05:28:00.000-05:002008-04-03T05:28:00.000-05:00Jessie, I hope you can do this work for as long as...Jessie, I hope you can do this work for as long as you love it so much. <BR/>I saw Into the Wild and thought of you - Have you seen it?<BR/>I want you to paint Monty, but we've been having financial trouble lately.
