My first Doberman, Gypsie was born Jan. 3, 1979. Little did I know the impact that tiny little pup would have on me for the rest of my life.
When I lost her at 9 years of age, I was devastated beyond words. It took me 4 years to finally realize the hole in my heart would never go away on its own. That is when I decided to look for a puppy. Four weeks later Sera came into our lives.
In the four years between Gypsie and Sera, I always pictured Gypsie a specific way. She would be laying on the fluffy clouds with her angel wings and a gold halo over her. For Gypsie was my first Angel.
I already had Sera when I gathered up the courage to call Kevin for the first time. I told him about Gypsie and how I would picture her in my mind. I sent a specific picture of Gypsie laying down with her front paws crossed. That was a trade mark of hers. She was always a paw crosser.
When I received Gypsie's Portrait all I could do was cry. Kevin had put what only I could see in my mind into a portrait that everyone could see. The detail Kevin put into Gypsie was simply amazing.
When Sera was a couple of years old, I had Kevin do her portrait. Again, the detail he puts into his work is amazing. Kevin painted my third Doberman, Kaylee and just finished the portrait of Breezy, my fourth and current Doberman. I would never consider anyone else doing the portraits for me. Kevin brings the portrait to life.
Kevin, the gift that you have given me by doing each of their Portraits is a lifetime of joy, happiness every time I look them. They are forever giving me joy, happiness and pride that each one of them were and are forever my babygirls.
