Tuesdays with Tucker™ {The Westie}…Tucker’s Signature Line ~ Honoring His Journey

As you know, Tucker was always close by my side or actually in my lap as I painted and worked on new designs out in my studio. And, yes, I miss him soooooo very much. He was such a part of my daily activities…such a part of every moment of our lives…and, especially mine since he was always with me. A few years ago I started creating cards and jewelry designs with his photos, and I knew I wanted to add in new items to his signature line, Tuesdays with Tucker™, that would include paintings and prints.

So, I started working on these while he was still with me, and for some reason, I just didn’t ever get them completed. I would become so frustrated with myself about it…I also wanted to work on a journal all about him, but I just seemed to work on other things instead. I would start a new piece or pieces but not take them to completion…thinking I needed to wait, think about the design a bit more…because, well, I wanted it to be perfect. When he passed away it hit me so strongly that now is the time to finish these pieces, and maybe, like so many things in life ~ there is a time for everything. I realized when I was fussing at myself for not getting these pieces completed that I just wanted to enjoy him and soak up every moment with him…that I didn’t have to feel pressured to get things done for his signature line. There was just something in my heart that decided I would work on them as I could and as I wanted to but to not feel pressure about them.

And, now, I feel like it is so very perfect to be working on his line, his creations…for it is our memories together that will be in each stroke of paint, every sketch, all the words I will include in them. It is his journey, and now, I will share it through our art. I call it ours because it truly is. Our sweet Tucker taught us so many life lessons and added such huge doses of sunshine and inspiration to our days, and that is what I want to include in each piece of art. Yes, Tucker’s heart and his amazing journey will be a part of it all. I feel as though he is nudging me with is little black nose saying, “Yes, sweet momma, now is the time…now is the most perfect time…and, as you create each piece, you will relive our moments and memories…all the blessings of our forever connection.”

So, there is no ending to our sweet Tucker…he will live on in our hearts and souls forever, I can assure you. And, I know he lives on in the hearts of those that came to know him so well. And, now, as I dip my fingers in paint, sketch out our memories, and share his journey, he will continue to add a dose of sunshine and inspiration to your lives. Open your heart to what he will share with you…may it bless you in more ways than you can imagine!  *This new artwork may be found in my shoppe, Ann~Margaret, Artist ~Designer ~ Photographer…stay tuned, more designs will be added soon!  🙂

My heart sends out huge HUGS to you for all the love and sweet comments you shared with Tucker during his time with us.  I hope you will continue to enjoy Tucker’s Facebook page and find a dose of sunshine in the many things I will be sharing from his journey.

May Sweet Memories of those you Love Bless your Heart FOREVER ~

and always
