Here is my entry into the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: About a Face. The challenge never said that the Face had to be human. This is the weirdest card I have ever made and it requires and explanation. I just started painting with Watercolors. Actually I just started painting. I have never painted before. I'm a paper pencil, graphite, charcoal kind of gal. This started off with me just playing with watercolors. I decided to use this as a way to express my feelings. This card became a little bit of Art Therapy. It may not be the best painting but it was a wonderful way to express myself. A friend of mine, that I went to High School with, past away last week. It's been many years since I had seen him but we lived in the same city and kept in touch through Facebook. This face is Dink the Cat. This is my painting of Joe's best buddy Dink, wrapped in his favorite blanket. One thing we shared was the love of weird cats. Here is my tribute to Dink, the rescued Peterbald, and my friend Joe. I even included a black heart on my card. Joe was an excellent guitar player and Joey Blackheart was his stage name. Enjoy the card! I'm going to miss you Joe!
Here is the supplies I used to create this care:
1. Dink and his blanket was hand drawn and water colored with Sakura Koi Water Color Pocket Field Sketch Box.
2. Simon Says Red Card Stock
3. Ranger Archival Ink
4. Simon Says Stamp "Sending Happy Thoughts"
5. Ai Art impressions Cat Lady Stamps
6. Crate Paper "The Pier"

I am very sorry for your loss. This is a lovely tribute to your friend and a great way to remember him. Thanks for sharing your art with us at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge this week!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a heartfelt remembrance and I bet Joe would be smiling at such a great painting of Dink. I appreciate your sharing the story and my sympathies for your loss.
