I saw the lovely photo of you two joyous lovebirds and soul mates, and backtracked to this old post of yours. So glad to know that you are doing so well despite your terrible physical loss of Tim. You are a talented artist and writer -- and making great use of your talents. The courage and resilience that you had first shown in the face of heartbreak, and the candor and humor that you have now shown in your writing as you adapt to life without Tim's physical presence, are uplifting. If I don't post comments often (though I'm now following you:), know that I'm rooting for you! (But not as much as Tim does;) This post of yours brought tears to my eyes. Hugs and love, Nancy.

It must bring you comfort when you see it hanging on your wall, too. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us. My heart aches for you in the here and now, but I know the two of you will be together again one day on the other side.

And he would talk over dialog in movies, too!!! I was constantly rewinding. I have thought about that a lot recently and how I would now love for him to be sitting with me talking over the dialog....thanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03659525123752713841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-61420390439275733722013-10-31T20:36:25.843-07:002013-10-31T20:36:25.843-07:00This is such a poignant painting - beautiful viewp...This is such a poignant painting - beautiful viewpoint and really a good painting as well as a portrait. I'll have to try that canvas. Although, I suspect you and Gaugin could both do well on burlap! I'm happy you keep company with Tim. Never apologize for taking the time you need to come to grips or whatever! It's HUGE, what you went through, are going through. My heart aches for you. And yet… your love is still shining. And not everybody gets that.Kelley Carey MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667693715096070393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-2861631960427216882013-10-31T19:54:33.943-07:002013-10-31T19:54:33.943-07:00Beautiful painting and beautiful post - so sweet.Beautiful painting and beautiful post - so sweet.Connie Chadwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17643456021535622394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-71406105027332240862013-10-25T13:56:44.853-07:002013-10-25T13:56:44.853-07:00Your love shines through in this portrait.

Your two "voices" eloquently embrace the essence of "good" painting... and "good" love! <br /><br />Unlike most tributes which are customarily paid to another... your tribute unintendedly and simultaneously pays tribute to "You" as well... as a person as worthy of the exact same love and respect that you offer Tim.<br /><br />I so deeply admired "You" and the relationship you shared with Tim and his physical loss... even across the vastness of cyberspace... through your two "voices." Imagine that you can form such a bond... and never see or touch the other. Such is the power of art... when combined with blogging! Art Matters!<br /><br />It is wonderful to see and hear both "voices"... strong(er) and determined to resume you journey and your Karma. Tim is smilin' his special Suz smile... and waiting...beyond The Now!<br /><br />Much Peace n 'hugs!<br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-52270230479557154572013-10-09T18:10:32.519-07:002013-10-09T18:10:32.519-07:00So full of color and light and life - just beautif...So full of color and light and life - just beautiful Suzanne! I look to you to see how this all plays in life - if I ever - I would look to your continuation of life and dealing with loss and use it as a model. I will never get tired of reading it from you. You express it in so many heartfelt ways - it warms my heart to know that there is LOVE in the world such as the ones you and I and others know and have known. Your words help me with reality. Your feelings are heeded and recognized. I think you are making great strides in your grief - it changes it's face - doesn't it? This painting surely gives him physical presence in your realm as you include him in your day to day.Pattie Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133673088793154979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-59337338052719446472013-10-09T07:43:23.501-07:002013-10-09T07:43:23.501-07:00Just so excellent!

Your heart is written all over the paint here - I can feel it in each stroke and it's stunning. The warmth you've given him shows exactly Tim as you loved him - a warm kind tender soul that loved you so completely in return. I hurt for you that you miss him so - I wish I had the power to bring him back so you could even just rest in his arms one more time. You guys made quite the team, and I know that having only met you and not even in person. Oh Suzanne, this is one of your most moving works you've ever done. Have you decided where to hang it or did I miss that? I love you for painting with all your heart - how I wish I could give you a big bear hug right now and hear the stories, the good and the bad, and just sit in your company while you talk about the love of your life, your true one and only Prince Charming. Praying you are feeling loved and refreshed after painting what must have been one of if not THE most emotional painting of your life. Take care my sweet friend - I can't wait to hear from you and so hope with all my heart that you are doing well!Melissa Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05507649499725776209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-10318888459604468032013-10-06T07:09:54.924-07:002013-10-06T07:09:54.924-07:00This brings tears to my eyes just looking at his p...This brings tears to my eyes just looking at his portrait, I can't imagine how you managed to paint it, I can't really find words to describe it.
