Gerritt Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) A couple months ago my girlfriend lost her first "child" and best friend... Rusty was a 13 year old Chocolate Lab, and the hard decision was made to have him put down... With that in mind her birthday was coming up and I was at a loss as to what to do for her... Then it came to me.... So I contacted a few family members and got the ball rolling.... Here is what we did.... I hope you like it as much as she does... These pictures do not do the painting any justice... but give you the general idea.. I am thinking of framing it in barnboard to go with the country setting of our property.. I would like to thank the artist that painted this for me on VERY short notice. Without him I would not have seen this.. I will leave the artist anonymous.. unless he wants to come forward and present himself.. A huge thank you for helping me pull this off!!! G.

Handlebarz Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 That is great Gerritt and for sure the look on her face sais it all I bet the barn board will set the picture off very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushart Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Hey Gerritt, Glad we were able to pull it off within that timeframe, Definetely is a thoughtful thing to do. darn that Misfish guy though---you know them hunters--always lookin for clues, I kept one of the last pics--may give a little clearer view---that canvas was kinda big and all that green really gives a glare in the pic taking. All The Best. Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
