Why wait, do it now so you can enjoy the art! (May nor want to do a headstone tho). LOLI'm so sorry for your loss of Mossy!!!What a great life she must have had!!! We have a Dark Brahma (the one in my avy) that has been around more years than I can remember. She is beloved by all, family & visitors. When we lose her it will be a massive heartbreak.
Your work never ceases to amaze me.I told my family that when I pass, they must find you & commission you to do a piece for me.
