It's Crow Time 
Incredible drawing Mo. Spooky but intricately inspiring too, if that makes sense.
(((Dee))) I have been slowly working on this drawing since Julie passed away on August 7th, her funeral is tomorrow, we will be there in spirit
(((Mo)))
(((Nancy))) Julie was so vibrantly alive, she lived her life to the full, funny, fierce and a true friend to so many!
It’s a beautiful drawing Mo. A fine tribute.xx
(((René))) I just kept drawing ’til all the tears were done & the ghosts of good memories started to appear…
An absolutely beautiful tribute to your dear Julie. Thinking of you. ((((Mo)))
(((Carol))) Julie was such a bright spark, a brilliant gardener & a huge inspiration for getting things properly!
Being able to release your tears and your pain as you draw and to end up having this spectacular memory to Julie…wow! A pretty special way to be remembered…..and the good memories can only continue to grow. BTW I haven’t forgotten I owe you a photograph but I knew you would be grieving so have left it for the moment. Been thinking of you lots. Big hugs. x
(((Eliene))) after many days of tentative little marks in 5H graphite my hand eye heart connection started working with the ink and it all started getting a lot more joyous after the cataract surgery on my right eye on Tuesday morning. I was second on the list and the eye surgeon did the operation perfectly, he was very happy with how it went & so am I. My vision is getting clearer by the day, it’s so good to be able to read the synopsis on the back of a book at the library without my glasses on, the colours of everything are so much brighter and all the edges of the world are so sharp! Look forward to that photo of you in the starry necklace!
Your beautiful drawing holds here & there, the next world, and so much love.
(((Hazel))) drawing always helps with getting through to the heart of the matter
In this exquisite drawing, I see a garland, flying from the center branches of the tree. I think of how we use garlands to celebrate and to express joy. Garlands signify beauty, peace, love and passion…may Julie fly free, bedecked with the love of her family and dear friends for she touched so many lives and will continue to do so, in their hearts and memories. Mo, this is such a beautiful tribute…
(((Marti))) Julie was the glue that held us all together!
(((Mo))) drawing from the heart
(((Susi))) Julie was such a fearless spirit, fierce brave with a huge heart and a wicked sense of humour!
dear Mo … how much love is witnessed by your hand
(((Liz))) a whole lifetime now feels so fleeting !
Really beautiful work Mo
(((Lana))) the funeral was today we attended by livestream on facebook which sounds bizarre but the service was a beautiful honouring full of so much love and good humour for a very special friend
This is beautiful, so much detail… Much Love Mo.
(((Deb))) it’s almost midnight on this sad but joyous day Vale Julie
I can never find words, enough to ease the loud silence of ‘Nevermore’. My thoughts are with you all – Mo, Rod & Penny. I remember Julie too & I start to smile because she was a fierce & beautiful woman. Love to you all. 💗
(((Donna))) so good to see you and thanks for the good words!
namaste
I am so sorry for your loss .. I know she will live forever in your heart.
(((Tina))) Julie left us all with so many good memories & such high standards to live up to! Whenever she was in town I would spend a week on the housework getting everything as tidy and clean as possible, she took great pride in her house and garden, she will always be by my side when I am out gardening!
this is so moving
(((Jude))) this drawing really helped me accept Julie’s passing, as she said from the other side of the grave at her funeral she wants us to miss her but not too much, she loved life, lived large, travelled the world, skiied on all the best slopes, built a fabulous nursery with her partner Leigh, partied hard and loved all her friends fiercely with a heart as big as Phar Lap.
I too am deeply moved. Personalizing a lot of it because it speaks to same sort of glowing loving spirit released, there in a garden, that I have been envisioning from another leave-taking. we had a disembodied funeral in that everyone went outside at a certain time to make the loudest possible noise they could with a drum, rattle, or tambourine. Incredibly powerful thunder storms that were meant to miss us by many miles rolled directly overhead a few hours later. Was a lot more happy than sad ..
