The name Kizzy came from Roots, she was the daughter of Kunta Kinte.
I wanted to share the clients email… this painting was originally going to be a surprise...
"Oh, gosh Clair. Wow. It's perfect. Really, it's beautiful and we love it. Yes, I'm afraid the cat's out of the bag because when I saw this last night, I started crying and couldn't seem to pull it together. Ranald, of course, wanted to know what was wrong, and I was too emotional to make anything up! So, I showed him, and we both started to cry, and we're both thrilled with it. Thank you."
Here is Kizzy's story:
We adopted our beautiful girl out of Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue
when she was 18 months old. She had had a tough time as a puppy, so she
didn't trust many people, but the three of us loved each other right
away. She was an amazing athlete, a tremendous hunter, and the best
guard dog we've ever seen. She had a regal, queenly bearing, and she
loved to sit in the sunshine for hours.
This was her memorial:
It is with a heavy heart and a spirit filled with gratitude that we let
you know that our dear Kizzy passed over the Rainbow Bridge last night,
completing this part of her journey, and she is now on her next
adventure. She had her quirks, but we loved her, and she loved us back
with ferocity. We continue to feel her so close by, making sure we are
OK, as she always has. The last couple of days, the three of us talked a
lot about our walks on the beach, at the park, and chasing her leash at
UNCW. The way the squirrels ran for cover whenever she went into the
backyard, and how much she loved being pet on the belly - but only by
us, her people she could trust. How she got the top marks in obedience
class, but woe be it to the person who dared to ring our doorbell! She
was beautiful, proud, and fiercely loyal. If you would think of her
today and send an ear scratch her way, we would love that. Mindy and
Ranald
Don't forget about the show tomorrow night!
I'll have all the recent paintings up!
