Drawing Mannie the cat

March 30, 2015 by Sandy Allnock 43 Comments Filed Under: Copic Advanced, Fine Art & Sketching Tagged With: pets

It’s Magical Monday (no voiceovers) – and I have something pretty special today.

Some of you may know that my friend Kristina lost her kitty about a week ago. I am so sad for her…hearing of anyone losing a pet brings back memories of my own sweet girl and that awful day back in October. I wanted to do something special for Kristina, and since I saw her over the weekend, I was able to hand deliver a little Magical Monday drawing of her little furbaby.

    What an absolutely beautiful thing for you to do for Kristina. I’m sure she loves this picture of Mannie. Just watching this brought tears to my eyes, remembering the day we lost our little furbaby. They really do leave paw prints on our hearts <3. You are such a sweet friend too!

    Sandy you are amazingly talented. I’m sure Kristina appreciated your thoughtfulness. We have a cat jus over 20 years old and he is showing his age this winter. We are trying to brace ourselves for the inevitable. Its hard.

    What a wonderful way to show you care. I am with a local rescue here in Oregon and the amazing lives we save makes it worth every moment. The people who adopt our foster babies take them on with such love and care, we could not ask for more! Thank you, Sandy for being part of the circle of love.

    This is beautiful. What a kind gift to your friend. The only question I have is about the music playing in the background. Will you share the name of the song playing? I love to listen to beautiful music while I’m painting and this is one I’d like to add to my collection.

    So beautiful, Sandy. I’m sure Kristina loved it. Hard to believe it’s some six months since your fur baby passed away. It seems such a short while ago.

    Another wonderful magical Monday. I’ve never met you, Kristina or Mannie but the love and affection shared between you came through with each stroke of the pen. I am in awe of your artistic talents but when your work comes from your heart…well, I just can’t put that in words how magical it is. Truly a gift from God all of us can see.

    What a special, special gift for Kristina! I’m sure she loved receiving your beautiful picture. I cried watching you create Mannie as he looked just like my little Joey whom I lost five years ago. I’m sure Kristina cherishes your gift.

    A wonderful gift for your friend. My heart goes out to the both of you. I lost my fur baby “LOUiE“ a number of years ago. He had just passed his 19th Birthday. Two weeks later I had to take him on that one way trip to the vets. Tore my heart out. Thanks for caring Sandy.

    This is beautiful, and Mannie looks so peaceful here. This is such a wonderful gift for Kristina – I know she will treasure it. I couldn’t watch the entire video as I was crying too much. These things always bring back my grief for my beloved Muffin kitty. One day a few years after Muffin had passed my BF Brian surprised me with a watercolour painting of Muffin. It touched me deeply and it was one of the most thoughtful gifts anyone has give me. That’s why I know Kristina will cherish this thoughtful tribute to Mannie. You are a sweet and supportive friend.

    I bet Kristina loved it. My poor baby is not feeling well right now. He is 10 and we are starting to get very worried. He has always been active but the past couple of days very sad ad down. We’re hoping it is just winter blues.
