Unexpected picture



Our beautiful corgi died tragically from a horrible deteriorative disease a couple of years ago. I have not felt able to draw him since, for it serms too sad to recall those last moments of precious time. 

Imagine my delight then, when looking through some old pastel pads, to come across a picture I had done years ago but completely forgotten about.

It was so amazing to see him smiling out at me. I instantly recognised the shape of his tooth, the sparkle in his pretty eyes. It was as if he was here again, saying hello. It was before all the pain and sadness, but because it was not familiar to me, it felt like a new hello from him.

I am going to get a frame for this picture for he deserves to be on our wall. How amazing that a forgotten pastel can bring such light into the day.
