Good things come to an end….

The portrait sale has ended. Only one order came in! I am still offering portraits for $50. Same things included. But what I am going to do is have a contest. For $5. Only 5 Dollars, you can enter for your chance at a painting of your own commission. I will release the information next week! So watch for it.

Last week, my very dear friend and partner in SL lost his best friend of 9 years. A gray tabby he had named Cheff. After three years of ownership, Cheff had developed feline Diabetes. My friend was told that if he was lucky, his cat might live 2 more years. But Arne, my partner, gave such love and good care of Cheff, he lived for more than six years only to develope a liver infection and die after 3 days of suffering. I was glad that I could not sleep that night and was around to comfort my friend with his loss. We talked about his dear friend. Then he asked if I have ever lost a dear friend like that. Of course. We all have. Mine was a large, funny looking horse that I named Waqulah. She was my best friend for 4 amazing years. It has been over a decade since I lost her but the sting of her loss is still deep when I stop to think about it.

Arne’s birthday is tomorrow. So I made him this. Our friends, Cheff and Waqulah. Happy Birthday Arne.
