A Tribute to Yuka, the Coffee-Loving Cockroach

While initially contemplating a tribute to my greatest love, Dracula, who departed from us last year, the emotions surrounding his loss are still too raw. It's a journey that I may embark on when the time feels right, but for now, I find solace and joy in celebrating the living embodiment of companionship that is Yuka.

The decision to portray Yuka in this particular pose captures the essence of her lovable personality—always ready to share a meal or cozy up with a cup of coffee or tea, much to the amusement of our friends.

For those unfamiliar with Yuka's stature, her exuberance sometimes startles those who might not realize she's not a dachshund. Nevertheless, her spirited nature and affectionate demeanor win over even the most hesitant hearts.

As I unveil "Cockroach," I invite you to glimpse into the world of canine companionship, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and every moment shared is a treasure. The painting stands as a testament to the bond we share with our four-legged friends and the joy they bring into our lives.

Thank you for joining me on this artistic journey, and I look forward to sharing more creations that capture the essence of life, love, and the delightful quirks that make it all worthwhile.

Greetings, art enthusiasts and dog lovers alike!

I am thrilled to share the completion of my latest painting, a heartfelt tribute to my furry companion, Yuka. Named after her endearing habit of joining us at the table during every meal, Yuka has become an integral part of our daily routines, bringing joy, energy, and yes, a touch of humor to our lives.

In her beloved position, Yuka has inspired the creation of "Cockroach," a whimsical portrayal of this good-natured canine who, despite her size, believes she is a dachshund at heart. Her enthusiasm for cuddles knows no bounds, and her presence ensures that no meal or coffee time is ever dull—hence the playful title.

The canvas, measuring 80 x 50 cm, serves as the backdrop for Yuka's charm, meticulously brought to life with acrylic paints. Each stroke is a testament to the unique personality and quirks that make Yuka such a beloved member of our household.
