  1. Hi Serena,
    Your drawing is phenominal. What a wonderful likeness. I'm sure he would approve. It's a lovely tribute. Are you keeping it or do you plan to send it to his family?? Ro

  2. Fabulous portrait! Thanks for your comment - I do get cold feet about some of my posts and then take them off but I put that one back after I read your comment. Yes, this was a very sad death, I'm sure it was a tragic accident but I still feel amazed to hear about people, celebrities, who have it all and are suffering in private. Having it all is really a silly illusion, we have to be happy in our hearts. Very sad, but a lovely tribute Serena.

  4. Thanks, Ro. :) This is done in my sketchbook but I'm glad you think it would be good enough to pass on to a family member.

    Thanks, Felicity. :) I'm glad you put your post back on. I so agree that we think celebrities or the rich have it all but there are quite a lot who aren't happy within and this can lead to deep depression or odd behaviours. Money might make life easier but it certainly doesn't buy happiness. I too would like to think Heath's death was a tragic accident.

    Thanks, Maria. :)

  12. Yes, this is such a wonderful and beautiful tribute Serena. We Americans adopted him as our own too. He is sorely missed.
