Poor Bear


https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/2023/01/06/beautiful_buddy/

Poor Buddy Bear still in kennels after 4 years. I have written him a poem as I anm unable to draw more at the moment. He is so beautiful.

Is there anyone out there 


Who  can totally love me?


Is there anyone wanting a Bear hug 


Just from me?


I hope you will see me


And stay long enough to get to know me,


I came from a terrifying place


Saved from death.


I travelled miles to find the right home.


But still I long 


To be loved and truly safe


With my own person


To call my own.


When will you find me?


When will you come?


When will you see me


And know


That I am the one?


Every day I wait for you.


Every day I hope.


Let today be the day.

Beginning a new dog pastel

Image
It is always exciting to draw a dog. The Penny Paws Dogs are so in need of love and being seen. I do hope the pictures I draw will bring out something special about each dog. This is Buddy. He is very much needing to find the right home, to be loved. I start by drawing an outline in white. It is important to me to get a pretty accurate, rough, drawing to begin with. I drew this outline about 8 times before I got it to a satisfactory place, ready to begin colouring it in, I thought I would not manage to draw him well enough, but persevered. I struggle visually, cognitively and physically so every work of art is a huge challenge and effort for me, but one I take on out of my huge love of dogs. https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/beautiful-bear-looking-for-his-forever-home/

Annie

 I was asked to draw this beautiful graceful dog, Annie. I was not sure I would be able to capture her likeness especially as her fur has tiny dark flecks in it, not easy to convey, but as with all my art, I never know if I can until I try. It was a joy to work with my favourite pastels and so very pleased with the result. Just after I had finished, I was paralysed by noise and was unable to move my hands and feet. It is incredibly wonderful to find moments of artistic expression are possible in a sea of unending pain and such frequent total inability to move. There is something truly wonderful about creating something beautiful that did  not previously exist. I find the process awesome and inspiring as well as challenging me to grow.

Delighted

Image
 I drew this pastel of the wonderful, happy Arto and am so delighted to see it framed and know that this sweet and precious dog has been rescued and will now have the happiest life. There is something lovely when a dog looks at you and you look at a dog and you see each other. I have not met these dogs in person but feel there is so much to be discovered when you look in their eyes and see their beauty, even in a photo. It is a joy to me to try and express this through pastel. https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/2023/02/20/gorgeous-arto/
