Universal Friends, They Meet Drew Strouble Self Portrait Watercolor Painting with Swami Shiva from Tobago

Universal Friends, They Meet
by Drew Strouble

Within seconds after our eyes met, handshakes were exchanged and mangos were offered and a friendship with a Swami from Tobago began.

My wife and I were taking a much needed holiday in the beautiful British West Indies. Our first morning at Armos Vale we went down to the beach with snorkeling gear and my paintbox. Here is the first person we met on our travels. My wife took the photo reference at that first moment of encounter. We became fast friends and corresponded for years. At the time of his painting, Swami Shiva was 52 years old and lived in a bat cave. Click here to contact Drew about your Portrait of a Lifetime!

Hi, Drew. I received your Calendar and Journal today with the personal note. Thank you so much! Lukas, who helped me open the parcel, also says “thanks” for the Styrofoam peanuts. Ollie, who has only three legs, is less prone to chasing things, but says thanks as well. And I will most certainly enjoy the Calendar and Journal. All the best,Margaret

Drew, I just received the print of “Rescued Angels” and it absolutely beautiful! Adrian will love it! The sweetheart in the middle looks like his rescued little girl “Gabby”. His other rescue, “Ricky”, is a snowshoe. Adrian picks up and delivers Siamese for the Florida rescue folks, and falls in love with every one of them. Thank you for supplying the purrrfect gift for my good friend. I’m sure this will not be the last time you will receive an order from one of us. Thank you again. Furry hugs to you! Patti
