>For 5 years we had a really nice dog

>He's a st bernard with asymmetrical markings, named Mad-Eye Moody because one is around his eyes

>Mom brought the dog to hospitals as a therapy dog for sick people, they loved him because he was very placid and friendly

>He died of cancer

>My mom was heartbroken

>I painted a picture of him for her

>I used oil on the backing of a drawing pad, this cuts drying times significantly. I really enjoy this method and recommend it to anyone who wants to get into oils because you can even thin out oil pastels with liquin or linseed oil and it makes for an excellent underpainting.

>Gift it to her for mother's day.

>She cries

>Says she loves it

>However, she refuses to hang it up for about 6 months because she's so sad about the dog.

>I kind of felt like she hated it for doing so, I think she was just sad, but I think she actually likes it now. At the time I was extremely insecure about it though, thinking it was a really bad painting.

>I also really loved that dog and I miss him.
