For my friend Emily. This is a drawing of her
beautiful little girl.I drew this in the Catskills
with hopes that it will make Em smile...ease
some of her post surgery pain...and speed up
her recovery!!!
I never get tired of looking at this! I will never forget the day I opened this.... It most certainly did take the pain away, and it made me so gracious for not loosing the battle... you somehow managed to capture even my love for Lily in this portrait, and that is insurmountable!
Love you Renata!
Emily
aww, this just made me smile and grin;) lol cuteness, making a little daisy chain for her ankle.....i remember those days fondly now after seeing this:D. My sister used to make ones for me to wear on my head, twas nice:D lol
lovely shading by the way, it's amazing!!!!
jsut lovely Renata! - wonderful work for your friend ~ I always enjoy seeing how you incorporate different elements into the drawing. You are very good at it!
I know that little girl was so thrilled to see this! It is charming! Best wishes that her recovery is quick and that this lovely picture brings her joy! :)
Adorning herself so she is the most beautiful 'butterfly' in the forest...What a lovely rendering, I'm sure your friend enjoyed it very much.. very thoughtful of you! Excellent work! :o)
Oh Renata....
You must have gotten my phone message by now....But I have to just say it again and again.....I burst into to tears the second I opened this, and all day, just tears....and right now at this moment, more tears....I just can't say enough....I adore this creation with such fierceness it is unspeakable. When Lily saw that you gave her butterfly wings she got a look of PURE MAGIC on her face.....NO ONE, and I swear when I say NO ONE, has EVER given my a greater more precious gift than this drawing.
I don't know how I could ever thank you.....You're beauty, thoughtfulness, sincerity, just everything about you....is simply amazing....
Thank you, Renata.....more than you can ever know, thank you.....
xoxo
Emily and Lily
This is beautiful! Emily's daughter will love it and cherish it forever, and Emily will recover faster knowing she has a friend who cares this much for her.
