Description
This picture was made specifically for a special friend whom I lost to a tragic car accident on the 12th of November this year. She was like a sister to me, and even still the sting of death remains. One of my friends (who was closer to her than me) and I decided to make a collaborative piece to dedicate to her, and this is it. She wrote the lovely poem and I put it together in this image. Morgan once told me that her favorite breed of horse was a Morgan (
figures), so I made one, with a coat the color of her hair.Again, another large image (around the 3,000 pixel range). I had to start and finish it last night, so it took me about 3 hours. I normally don't at all mind critiques, but this one holds a special place in my heart, so I'd appreciate no crits on this one.
In Loving Memory of Morgan
I'll never forget you.

This is a beautiful poem. I like that you emphasized the good things about her, and not on the tragedy itself. I'm sorry for your loss.

Glad you like it; my friend wrote the poem and I made the image. We both wanted the poem to focus on her and not about the tradgedy itself, so thanks for noticing that.

Wow... this is so touching, and yet there's a certain harmony in it, too; something peaceful about the colours and how smooth they are, how they all fit together in a warm kind of way. Gorgeous poem, too. I'd bet your friend is grateful

This is so beautiful. I am so sorry for your lost, I imagine how hard it mus be to loose a friend so I deeply give you my concerns. This painting is a great dedication for her, I am sure that she smiles at it wherever she is and think of the good friends she left behind. Don't worry, you will meet each other again, all you can hold for now is all those beautiful memories you built together and keep them in your heart. This painting is gorgeous and very peaceful, I love the background color and the horse's. They blend together nicely. Beautiful work.
Once again, I am deeply sorry...

Thank you very much.
It's so hard to piece together the reality of it in my mind, but I know it's true. I just went to her visitation tonight and saw many good, lifelong friends there. It was just nice to cry and hug people that are so close to you and know they are going through the same thing. Thanks so much, I truly appreciate it.

Dear Misted-Dream,
Wow. That's a beautiful poem and a beautful picture. I think is extremely wonderful that you would put something up like this for your lost friend. I'm sorry to hear about that... My dog Shadoe, was a lifelong friend I lost 2 years ago. She was there before I was born and she would always stick by my side. She was a bit different, with a folded back ear that wouldn't stay forward, but I loved her. June 4th I always go out to her resting place and I talk to her. It was 2 days after my birthday party that she wandered off on a journey. She usually did, but no one expected she wouldn't come home. Me and my brother couldn't get to sleep the night before. And my dad had somewhat of a vision of where her body lay. I was awoken that morning to my mother crying and saying, "Honey, Shadoe got hit by a car." I started to cry immedeatly because I knew that there was no chance of Shadow living after getting hit by a car at the age of 12 in our years. My dad had arrived shortly after I stumbled upstairs in my Barbie nightgown. I walked outside and watched painfully as my dad took Shadoe's body from the back of the truck. My vison was blinded by tears as he took Shadoe's carcass from the truck. We all said our prayers while by brother dug her grave, Shadoe's side was wet from our tears. Dad picked up Shadoe's body and gently set her in her grave. We each picked our own Tiger Lillies from my mother's garden to bury with Shadoe. We covered her with a layer of earth, then put a Lilly. Then earth, then lilly. My lilly was on top and we said that Shadoe needed a gravestone. My brother ran as fast as he could down to the firepit in the back yard and brought back a gray stone. We embedded it in the soil and her grave was wet with our tears. I still miss her terribly. I have for 2 whole years felt a loss.
Never think you are alone.
Sincerely,
Tru-Tears

Thanks very much for sharing that.
Death in general is hard to cope with. I've lost numerous cats, a mini horse, a dog, and three goats in my life time as well as two close friends. Unfortunately, everybody has to deal with death in their life and when it comes, it hits hard. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, as I know even though it isn't extremely fresh, it still feels like it is.
