"Obi" is now off my desk and had a quick trip outside for a photo in good light.
I will probably add a bit more shading to his tail and then it is done.
With the sad news about Shaz I pulled out the WOYWW folder and had a look at the beautiful ATC's
I received from Shaz over the years.
She will be sadly missed and my thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Obi is stunning Sandra. Good to see SHaz's ATCs too. Hugs. Stay safe. Sarah #6
ReplyDeleteAh dear Sandra Obi is magnificent, perfect tilt of the head and playful glint in the eye.. and soon the tail will be wagging anyway!
ReplyDeleteYes see similar ones there on your desk Sandra, we are very blessed to know Shaz through WOYWW.
Thanks for Sharing, God bless and keep you safe, and all those you love, hugs Shaz in Oz.x

While I m incredibly sad about Shaz this morning, I have really enjoyed reading other people’s memories and experiences of her, she really touched a lot of hearts and I cannot think of a better epitaph than that xx
ReplyDeleteWow, that portrait of Obi is amazing! What skill you have, I am in awe of your watercolour prowess.

That painting of Obi is wonderful, just look at those eyes, he really is just sat there on your canvas as if in reality. You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteTake care Sandra, love having you back with us.
Hugs, Neet 17 xx
Wow, Obi is stunning - so incredibly realistic - I'm completely in awe of your skills with a paint brush. Lovely to see Shaz's ATC's, she will indeed be missed.

I’m sorry I’m so late visiting this week. I’ve been head down making Memory bears this morning.
ReplyDeleteYour painting of Obi is truly amazing...more like a photo.
Hugs, Annie x #9
Obi is gorgeous! So lovely to reflect on Shaz's beautiful ATCs - she is a crafting legend and left so many memories with all of the WOYWW buddies. xx Jo
ReplyDeleteAmazing painting. And lovely ATC's.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit BJ#23
Obi looks more 3D now - but I only noticed the difference compared to the previous stage of the painting. He almost pops off that page now! We'll all miss Shaz - WOYWW will not be the same without her. Take care xx zsuzsa #31
ReplyDeleteOh Obi looks so gorgeous in the sun!! I have the same ATC from Shaz for WOYWW 6. It's lovely to know others are looking at the same things as me and remembering her fondly. Much love on this difficult day, Lisa-Jane #7
ReplyDeleteObi's portrait is so beautiful, Sandra, and he has such a sweet expression. It's lovely that people are sharing pictures of the cards that Shaz sent them - I am sure many of us have a little collection that we will look at and remember a very special lady - it's great to have tangible evidence of her creativity. I still find it hard to believe she's gone - she was so special and helped me personally so much, and it's very hard to accept that through both our colorectal cancers, I have survived and she has lost the battle. So unfair.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment - I can't wait for some warmer weather so we can get our pretty umbrella out again and sit in the garden! The kitties find it a bit cold at the moment and are happy to come in again when called. It's a different story in the summer. Naughty little stop-outs then! At the moment they are enjoying lots of cuddles to keep warm. I am so glad you liked my collection of Hebrew cross stitch designs. It was fun digging them out again after all these years, and great that someone spotted one on Pinterest and wanted to do it. Now that the Tiny Carpets project is finished, I'm quite missing my cross stitch! I must do some more...
Hard to say "happy WOYWW" because our family is now incomplete, so I'll just say have a good week.

That portrait is gorgeous!! You could almost reach out and take a scratch behind the ears!! It really is simply beautiful!! I love your Shaz ATC share! What a treasure to have some beautiful crafts from her for memories to hold close to your heart! Have a blessed rest of your week! Felicia #34
ReplyDeleteI started off okay today with the visits, walked dogs and went into the cabin and now I don't know where the time went to! Obi is beautiful for sure. Shaz will never have really left us because her blog will keep her alive for us and I can tell you it wont be the last time I pop over there for some ideas when I get stuck, God Bless her. Have a lovely creative woyww, Angela,x18x

Seriously the loveliest pic ever! Beautiful Obi! You are so so patient Sandra, my fam think I’m patient, but I really could do with a lesson or two from you, and certainly one of those lessons would be learning how you know when it’s time to stop. I mean, how do you know that Obi’s tail needs a bit more shading?!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, I think many of us have been looking at our swaps this week! So sad. I love that pic, Obi is just so sweet. Sorry about the late visit, was a bit poorly and had to go to bed for a bit!! Love n hugs, Cindyxx #20
ReplyDeleteYou dog portrait is amazing, a round of applause from me xx Angela #21
