Description I have been working on this piece for a long while. there has been much of my time and creativity put into this piece but not knowing what direction to finish her, or bring her into. And then . . . it evolved completely.
My cat was found yesterday morning she got jumped over my porch gate , and I was called and informed of her passing.
After a long while of crying and sobbing, I brought this piece to light and gave her finishing touches with many of her features, her little white bow above her lips that my cat had, whisker freckles , gray green cat eyes, a smudge of white which looked like liner about her eyes and a mischievous smirk.
The piece is titled Spirit of Holly.


for providing a great musing image for a piece that has become highly emotiona

There's no real words for this, or your story. The art is gorgeous, and the story is something that people all over can sympathize with.

Jenna,
This is amazing, truly beautiful. I love the look on her face and of course like most of your work I had to it. How have you been, I miss talking to you. How's Cali? Florida is awesome.....

You have my deepest sympathies... My animals are brothers and sisters to my own birthed children.

I've been watching you for some time now and I must say that this is one of your finest pieces to date. I've made a point not to "fav" lightly -- I don't want hundreds of pieces in my folder that I later don't care for as much -- but this one is most assuredly getting stars.

Blessings!

Your work reflects your feelings Jen. And though it is a truly beautiful piece it is also a sad one for the reasoning behind its finish. it hurts now, and nothing will help that. Holly is still with you and always will be she knew your love of her.

This is so charming. Sorry about your cat. I know when I lost my kitten Winter it truly broke my heart and I cried so hard for a long time. I see her in a lot of things, especially in the snow as she really oddly loved it. The features of your cat are a very special touch.
