Description
I am doing this dedication for my friend RubyT who is simply one of the kindest and most wonderful ladies I've ever known. When I asked her what sort of dedi she would like she asked if I could do it for her brother Nick who is no longer with us. I'll only share a bit about Nick with you but to me he is one of those smallest heroes I mentioned a while back. Ruby and Nick were poor when they were little and raised by parents who didn't treat them good. I will cut and paste a portion of what Ruby told me in
her letter to me below.
(Ruby)
Yep, we overcame all that. There were lots of
emotional scars and a whole list of other stuff, but my brother fought to undo and redo so much for me and for himself. My brother was my Hero. Still is. If it weren't for my brother, I would not be who I am today and my life would surely not be as it has been. I owe everything I am to him. He saved my life and gave me a new one by stealing me away from them and hiding me til I was 18. He re-raised me. Nick was a true Hero and thee kindest human I have ever known in my entire life.
I don't know about you but I was fighting back the tears while I worked on my dedi to her and wishing I was more talented and could give Ruby & Nick a dedication they truly deserve. Ruby asked me to do a image of Nick having a happy childhood, one like they never had, and to maybe include a butterfly. This is what I came up with after thinking about it.
MY BROTHER - MY HERO: I can close my eyes and
picture Ruby & Nick in a wonderous sandbox, having the time of their lives and not a care in the world. A small blue butterfly appears just above them and Nick reaches out and it lands on his finger.Ruby looks on at her big brother in awe as she has always been of him. This is the childhood I wish I could give them for real. Hugs to you Ruby and Nick, you are both in my heart always,
Dave
This was one of the most difficult renders I've ever done because of the emotion attached to it. In closing I'd like to say to parents out there. Please if you have children only show them love and protect them from bad things. I know thing can be tough sometimes and people can get angry or frustrated but there is NEVER any excuse for mistreating a child. EVER !

Dá orgulho na alma de saber e ver que o sentimento humano ainda esta vagando por aqui. Simplesmente emociona e faz com que a gente sinta as razões importantes da vida. Uma criação de coração de fatos dolorosos, que podem ser transformados em sonhos que gostariamos, uma grande e magnifica obra de uma dedicatória esplendida. Uma demonstração do sentido da arte meu amigo, aplausos mil He/she gives pride in the soul of to know and to see that the human feeling still this wandering for here. It simply moves and he/she does with that we feel the important reasons of the life. A creation of heart of painful facts, that can be transformed in dreams that we would like, a big one and it magnifies work of a shined dedication. A demonstration of my art friend's sense, applause thousand
