The Rainbow Bridge
In September 04, my beloved cat Sumsum died quite suddenly. I was MORE Then SHOCKED… It was as if my heart died with her . I had few terrible days & nights of SADNESS . She died 7 days before my first “Open studio exhibition ” . ( as if giving me 7 days to mourn ) . I had to explain my kids, to tell the BAD news, but I could not stop crying myself. I had to give them powers, when I myself had none… By chance, or actually for a reason, I found the story about ” THE RAINBOW BRIDGE ”, in the internet. And so I told my kids that story to help them with the news. Luckily I painted her in Oil, few months before she died. When I arrange that exhibition, while mourning her, looking at her painting, she was ALIVE, for me. Few month after, I started a small painting inspiring by the story ” The Rainbow Bridge ”... somehow, I didn’t completed it then.. Few days ago, I did.. and here it is today. Have a splendid loving day. Copyrights (c) Nira Dabush,

a mitzvah for your cat…wonderful
Nira Dabush replied
KJ.. Indeed a mitzvah…
adopting cats and pets is a big mitzvah I think … although not sure , it’s a mitzvah from Torah… ; – )
Thanks so much !

One doesn’t have to account to Torah for mitzvah…
The term mitzvah has also come to express any act of human kindness

Aaaaawww what a beautiful tribute, so colourful and alive, I know how sad you must have been, years ago some dogs grabbed my cat and tossed it about like a ragdoll, I ran and grabbed my cat from them, there was no blood but as I cradled her in my arms she died, I think the shock was too much for her.

Such an splendid tribute..!!
I envy you for your “education background”... you have profitted your chance and your talent which is enormous. I love this painting, specially because it has all the freedom of a loving friend… animal lover and an enormous quantity of artistic and emotional energy.
Rosa (thank you so much for your visit and kind comment on my navitaging sparrow… and I feel happy for having met you)
