Liz (zil2008) asked me to create a Rainbow Bridge picture for a website she is involved in for cats with asthma, www.felineasthma.org Look carefully and you will see also 2 little dogs I painted, with Liz's approval. The site is so informative about the dreadful condition, and helps people to understand it and how they can help their cats. Many of the cats if treated early can live long and happy lives, and often die of other causes. There is a special tribute page for those cats who have passed away. Being as the website is being updated at present it seemed a good time to add a pic of Rainbow Bridge, I considered it a great honour to be asked to create it. I sincerely hope that all of us who have lost beloved pets will get some comfort from my picture. Liz's recently departed Mikey is layed near to the bridge as that is where Liz would like to see him, but this picture is for everyone who ever lost a pet she stressed to me. This is how I see Rainbow Bridge and actually my own Mistapus has a serious heart condition that could take him at any time, so strangely enough I got some comfort from my own picture as I created it. I really do believe a place similar to the one I created does exist, and for all of us who have lost beloved pets will one day see them waiting patiently for us, but believing that while they wait they have all they need and are happy, is comforting don't you think? Just like Liz and a few of my friends here on RR who have lost cats and dogs, also my best friend Barbara (jendellas) has sadly just lost her beloved cat Bernie. It is always hard losing our dearest pets and I know how hard it has been for all of you. I hope that my little picture will bring you and us all some comfort too. Photos - Bluebell's, some other flowers, animal toys, plus pets, by me with Finepix S5000 Liz took the photo of Mikey and I painted him, as I did also both the dogs, Mia in the foreground who is not with me now, and also one of her pups the little black and white puppy. The background by me - painted grass and lots of other things using brushes, and I created other things using Photoshop Elements 8 and Photoshop CS4 Some brushes from Deviant Art were: KeepWaiting - Fantasy_Lighting brush kit for some stars Angela Jones - grass11_38734 used loads of them in this pic - contact - amj80@cableone.net Nathie - brushes - spring feelings foliage brushes, and fur brushes spiritsighs - brushes - dragonflies The angel is a stock photo by faestock, I painted her hair and photo maniped her gown, and painted the wings I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support of my work, and for all the well wishes, you really do make me feel loads better. I managed to get around to all of those who commented on my 'Hush She Sleeps', a bit slow but I got there in the end. love to you all, take care of yourselves, Jane xxxxxx PLEASE DO ZOOM TO GET CLOSE TO THOSE FURRIES �©2010 JaneEden
