Antuanelle Art

I am 75 years of age. When I was young - that is about the age of 5, I had a dog called Jimmy. We lived close to the ocean. I would often go with Jimmy to the white sandy beach and run along the beach. Jimmy was my constant companion. We would play along the beach for about an hour or more. Jimmy was a dog but he understood clearly what I would say to him. He was a courageous dog. A sheep dog. A loyal dog. A loyal friend in fact. One day before we moved from our place to another, Jimmy disappeared! I missed him very much. Even after about 70 years, I still miss Jimmy. Only his memories have always remained for me over all these years. I thought, Jimmy is gone but what is the next best thing I can have. I was introduced to Antuanelle by a friend of mine. I met Antuanelle and described to her what my dear friend Jimmy looked like. She drew sketches and finally she had drawn a sketch which looked so much like Jimmy! She completed her artwork and I see Jimmy by the beach! I have Jimmy framed and it is hanging in my office. I see him everyday. He is looking at me so iintently as he used to do. It gives me so much joy! Even as I type these words and look at Jimmy, I can see the glean in his eyes! He is looking at me! It is so real! I can feel the tears rolling down my cheeks! Oh! My friend! I miss you- very very much! I love you very much! I will always miss you. You are in my heart and will be there always! I can see you - how bright are your eyes as you look at me even now! Thanks Antunelle for your masterpiece of work! I am so grateful to you. Very much indeed! (Please note: The date December 2013 shown below, is to the best of my recollection).
