For those of you that have been here a year...you may remember this thread. For those of you that haven't been here and haven't read it...it will make more sense to this post.

A few days after my Chance went to the Bridge ( this past Easter Sunday http://www.newf.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=22;t=000108 )...I got this PM in my box. (C&P'd with permission)

Hi there

I just read your post about what you are going through with Chance, it made me think of my old girl and how it affected me.
If you remember I did a painting of one of your dogs (don't know which one) well I was wondering if you would like it, I know it wont help Chance but if it helps you in a small way I am happy to send it to you, all I ask is you cover the cost of shipping.
Let me know if you are interested.

What a GUY!!!! Needless to say, I accepted his offer and asked him if he would paint my Chance. He said he would be happy to, and asked that I send him headshots. UGH! It took me a month to even BEGIN to look thru the 100's of pictures I have of Chance. The ones too old that weren't put on a disc...I PUT on a disc...and sent off the best head shots I have, to him.

These are the pictures he chose to paint.


Yesterday, Neil e-mailed me the final painting for my approval. How could I NOT approve THIS?!


Neil...You have a HEART of GOLD, and, AGAIN...I thank you from the very bottom of MINE!


What a way to remember Memorial Day, 2005

Things like this is what makes NN so wonderful. Just to think a guy half way around the world cares enough to brighten the day of someone he will probably not meet in this lifetime.

Neil I said it before and I'll say it again. Your talent is awesome and your heart is a good as gold.

Thank you for sharing Neil's amazing work Giddy. That art is just heartstoppingly awesome. There are no words to describe the depth and energy his work reflects. You must be awestruck to actually own works of art from someone so amazingly talented.
