Ragnar recognition

[Ddski5]

Still think of this asshat all the time, I mean everyday. I don’t mean too, I don’t want to dwell in the past but I just find myself thinking of him.

@Gelcoater was right when he said the hurt doesn’t go away, it just kinda lessens with time.

My wife and children surprised me with this portrait. My wife’s niece is 16 and has some artistic talent. I am very surprised to see how detailed it is.





She even entered it in her high school art show which encompassed the entire parish. She did a beautiful job!!

I’ll be damned if ole Ragnar won 1st place- right there where he deserves to be.

Oh my gosh, how touching is that? What a heartfelt treasure!

The heartache of losing our beloved dogs never goes away but the great memories with them give us strength.

What a fantastic portrait a lovely way to remember Ragnar, and yes the heartache never seems to go away I find it becomes a bit more bearable as time passes.

What an incredible talent your niece has to have captured you and Ragnar so beautifully! What a piece to cherish

 

[MichiH]

Wow she is talented! And I got teary eyed reading this and seeing this beautiful picture. What a thoughtful gift. I also understand your feelings it never goes away, it’s something that lessens overtime, but it’s there and you keep in your heart

She is VERY talented....I am right there with you....thinking of Clarke daily; just stupid stuff makes me think of him, and how much joy he brought to our lives.

What a wonderful gift from your family to capture the strong bond between you and Ragnar. The portrait is remarkably detailed. Great job by your niece. I love that it won a contest too.

Wow, that's just awesome! All of it! The talent, the first place, the thoughtful gift for you. I feel like Ragnar was maybe working things behind the scenes himself.

From one artist to another...beautifully done! She has a firm understanding of lighting and shading. Love her attention to detail with textures too.

I'm just looking at this again and comparing the actual photo to her drawing and it truly is amazing how she caught even the expression and emotion of your face. She is very very talented and I can see her making a good business out of this if she wanted. I know I would gladly pay her for something like that!

 

[jazzies mum]

She's done a beautiful job. I think the drawing is more expressive than the photo and that is true art! It's a lovely memory of good boy Ragnar.
