My Best Friend, Peppy…..Forever…May he enjoy his sweet dreams xxxxxxxxx

A sad tale, A Weimaraner so dear, Gone but never forgotten, My BEST Friend, My Peppy, RIP my loving friend, The loss of a loved one

….whom I have no more…..Earlier this evening, I held him for the last time…. For 12 years he has followed my every step, to and fro wherever I went….I am proud and honoured to have been his human – he trained me so well!! …now, he can rest in peace….and enjoy the sweet dreams I wished him as he passed…My heart is broken……………….

Already missing for some time here on blogville, as life has been getting in the way…. I am taking a little moment to say, after tonight, and my heartbreaking event, I am taking an indefinite blogging break, whilst I mourn my constant companion and best friend of the last twelve years ! This, on top of recent globally reported events, of such sad and tragic losses of innocent lives, not even twelve miles from where I live, is more than I wish to comprehend in my life atm I’m sure you will understand if I do not respond/reply any time soon to any comments. Life is hard for many reasons and my heart is also broken for the loss of all those innocent young lives lost for no reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The lump in my throat is so large I cannot say more at this time…I wish everyone good health and happiness as I share a few more pics of my beloved Peppy….xxxx…at peace now……………………………

‘He’s being a baby again!’ All his life, he suckled on soft animals for comfort, I think, as he had such a severe case of separation anxiety, he couldn’t bear to be out of sight with me at any point in any of our days together…even a trip to the bin without him would result in a greeting, as if he hadn’t seen me for weeks!

My puppy – Peppy…The very first pastel portrait I did of him when he was still just a little pup…has always hung above my head watching down on what I do on the computer each and every day, and now I have his company still, immortalised, even though not still here…….

Hettie – Why So Sad? A special pastel portrait of Hetti, Peppy’s sibling

‘Its Peppy – Again!’ Abstract Version

‘Its Peppy – Again!’ (In Sepia this time!!)

Double trouble lol two combined portrait versions of Peppy, in his youth, out in our back garden…He was always such a handsome chap!

What!!! wake up NOW??!!

I, hereby judge myself the most handsome Weimaraner ever!!!!!!! Spoilt…Moi – well… just a little bit……….perhaps 😉

Look !!!! I caught the snowball ….  😀

……Still, in my broken heart………and forever………………………………

”Forgotten dreams of Crimson”….Shifting Scenes ~ from my series of ‘Forgotten dreams’ in Cubism Style Abstract  Doodle Art

For one reason or another, I seem to have had a good  few Cubism Art sales just recently…not at all complaining of course!! I’ve never been one to blow my own trumpet, but!!!!,  was completely blown away by a wonderful review on my Etsy Sale site this morning by a lovely gentleman who recently acquired this Original piece, and another purchased soon after, on it’s way to him as I type!!!

My review, which can also be viewed on my Etsy site

https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/carenscanvasandcraft

…….”Caren is one of the most brilliant artists in the world! And yet this piece was affordable and professionally packaged! I continue to be amazed by the quality of her work! I have already bought another piece that I now expect in the mail! Truly exceptional. Qualities of compositional balance with top-rate originality as well, a very rare combination. I don’t want others to buy the best of her abstract works as I would like to buy them myself, but I hope her work improves in value over time! Being somewhat poor, I’m not sure I will always afford her work, but hopefully my income will improve as the prices go up, and I’ll be able to collect more of her work and other expert Hyper-Cubists. She’s a prime example of a brilliant Hyper-Cubist. Nearly without flaw, well beyond most of my work. I only resent she’s not more hyperprolific.”……

How lovely was that to wake up to this morning??!! I reckon sewing should recommence early 2017….and I should get out some paper and pencil crayons out asap LOL

Titled  ”…98…99…100…come and find us…”

A few years ago I was very excited about the Cubism Style Abstracts (indeed, as I still am) which I had done in pencil Crayon, so much so, I took the same style forward and experimented with oils on canvas. They never cease to amuse and amaze me still..as I can always find something ”new” when they drawn me in 🙂 After there being a little rush on the pencil crayon versions, I thought I would add a couple of my Mounted Oil painted versions into my Shop!

What is that woman up to now?????

Mad woman, Manic moments, New beginnings, Weimaraner, Windows 10

Is there no peace and quiet to be had around here???

I know she tries her best, poor dear, but, I swear all the worrying about a huge family gathering is making her hair greyer by the day – starting to look like a faded felt tip in action, if you ask me! Sooooo much cleaning and preps have gone into making a perfect day to ‘Post Celebrate’ daughter’s wedding to new Son-in-Law in her home town with nearest and dearest not at the Wedding……ALL THAT I COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD (and, was willing to put up with)……….BUT THEN…….?!

OMGoodness what now??? Her frail and problematic laptop had apparently given it’s last breath…after another loud electrostatic crack   =-(   She frantically raced around the house wondering what to do next..????????..I followed obediently, getting ever more excited…as we constantly passed my treat drawer ;-/! Though, she just wasn’t for stopping (especially where I wanted her to) I think hysteria was powering her batteries??! A technophobic moment was in full, flapping swing…even knowing two technical ‘whizzkids’ (Daughter and Son-in-Law)were on their way up to northern territories couldn’t calm her!!

On their arrival(my tail was like a mini helicopter blade with excitement) then, there was much hugging and talk of their Indian Honeymoon adventures…before, she collapsed into a heap about the laptop issues! Much to my amusement, and, relief they dragged her off the get a new computermabob-thingy-do all-whatsit! Heaven!!!! Peace and quiet at last.. 😀

And, here was little ‘ole me thinking I’d had the problem of a mad woman solved !!..especially when they returned with a big, new, chewable box….  :-D……..How wrong can assumption be?

As things unfolded and got ‘plumbed in’ to reinstate her to the internet….she then had to combat… WINDOWS TEN !!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrghghghhgh (a seemingly huge jump from the seven version) So!!! Here I am, taking cover under my (ever comforting) puppy blankets until she masters things once more…at least all the fluffiness drowns out her wailing a bit! Here’s hoping, preps, panic and pandemonium are soon in the past and her productivity prevails… 😉
