Stars of Heaven
This is our Frankie. He passed on a few weeks ago. He was only 10 years old. It’s always very sad to lose young ones. I painted this imagining he is now in heaven filled with beautiful stars.

They come into our hearts and then go, it seems, too quickly…..and how special they all are. I have ten of them right now. This painting is so beautiful…such a special tribute to your Frankie. What wonderful work you do.

Thank you yimusjane for helping cats. They are all so wonderful. I cannot imagine living without them.

This is such a wonderful painting. I am so sorry Frankie is gone. I am such a crybaby. When I read a book about a dog or cat and I know the he/she will die in the end…I cheat. I read the last chapter first and than I start at the beginning of the book and read until I get to the last chapter and stop there. That way my last memory is a happy, healthy, frisky cat or dog. What a nit wit I am. That’s a lot of trouble to go to to fool myself and of course it never really works. And then comes real life…. You cant cheat in real life. But with a beautiful painting like you did of Frankie there isnt quite really a last chapter.
Great Work!
artbyakiko replied
I am also a fan of those books and movies about animals that have a happy ending. Sad ones haunt me for days and weeks, so I always try to avoid them. All animals should be happy all the time!
redqueenself, thank you so much for visiting my Frankie and leaving such wonderful comments!

Marjorie Wallace
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Frankie. My Snowball will be 10 this year and I shudder to think that I could loose her as such a young age. Your artwork is just wonderful and soulful. How handsome he was and I will just have to remember him that way and hope that he is running around happy and free on the other side of Rainbow Bridge.
artbyakiko replied
Marjorie thank you so much for your wonderful comments. Yes I also believe he is very happy with his mom on the other side of the rainbow bridge.
