Rising Above
I don’t have the words to say how I feel about all the horrors of the bushfires in Victoria that have been and are still being afflicted not only on the people who live there but also the animals except that my heart aches and sometimes I can’t stop the tears in my eyes from falling … especially especially for all the animals who lived there that had no chance to escape …
when I designed this fractal what I saw were koalas rising above the devastation below … there must be a heaven for these poor creatures .. little angel koalas …
please please open your heart and do whatever you can to help our animal cousins

owlspook replied
pleased you like it Euan!! actually the four creatures remind me of koalas .. been thinking about all the wild life and the horrors of the bushfires … rising above is for them …
Mary Rushton
Wow – this is brilliant!
owlspook replied
thank you Mary (big smile) I told Euan that they reminded me of Koalas … with all the devastation and horror in Victoria with the bushfires I had the wildlife on my mind today … so many died horribly so many hurt so bad … the title reflects my thoughts … there must be a heaven for all life and these koalas are rising up there from the devastation below … little angel koalas …

tkrosevear
a beautiful gift sis ;) xoxox
owlspook replied
thank you sis … I really think that the koalas helped me with this image .. you know how fractals are … many times you’re not sure how they will turn out .. well this one was serendipity … I saw it and knew what I had to do … I have an affinity for animals and it is breaking my heart hearing the stories and knowing what they went through .. the horror of it … I believe with all my heart it is our responsibility to everything we can to help them .. they had no choice nor the ability to find a safe place as the firestorm came their way .. so I’m going to do all I can to help and urge others to do the same … we owe it to our cousins to help …
Helene Kippert
We had a show on tv the other night about the RSPCA rescue efforts in that area and I cried all the way through it. This is so beautiful owlspook – hope it raises lots of money for their support!
owlspook replied
oh Helene oh my .. we don’t get anymore info about what’s happening there . guess it’s not big enough news in the US .. so many people I’ve talked to about it have no clue and sadly most of them have said things like .. geez that’s too bad .. and then that’s it … it all makes me so sad .. what’s happening to the animals and people and the plants/trees and the apathy I see amongst the people I know … I just had to do something to help .. am also hoping my image will raise some money to help … I just can’t sit back and do nothing … I am happy you like this image .. thank you for your hope and caring for our fellow travelers on this planet (big smile
Wendy Slee
This is superb in every way….and of course I see those little koalas…..
beautiful beautiful work! Made more so by you kind and compassionate gift….
thank you!!
owlspook replied
thank you for your kind comments Wendy … it isn’t much and I wish I could do more and gosh knows if someone will purchase it .. here’s hoping .. regardless I plan to send a donation as soon as I can squeeze more out of my budget … and perhaps more inspiration will come and I’ll have more art to share …. thank you Wendy for your encouragement … even though you didn’t say so I can feel it .. thank you (big smile)

Jan Landers
i have tears seeing this and reading your words….i always feel so deeply for the animals and what our carelessness does to them….a heaven, yes indeed….they have definitely risen above…this so touches my heart, owl…..
owlspook replied
in this Jan we are the same … I too have always felt deeply for our animal siblings .. I couldn’t just sit back and let others do it … just wish I wasn’t so friggin’ poor ‘cause I’d do more if I could … I’m hoping inspiration with come again .. some pesky little soul whispering in my ear and guiding my hand .. will keep listening and if it does I will share it …
actually there are more than four koalas in this image however with the resolution here on RB they’re harder to see ….

syd baker
Such a fitting tribute and reminder, especially to those of us so very far away, of the disaster that is those fires, I wish we had something like the little koalas to relate to here, but you’ve done a fine thing for them all!
owlspook replied
thanks syd … Australia is so far away … most people I’ve told about the bushfires don’t seem to connect .. too far removed from their lives here I guess … a lot of apathy … ya perhaps if we had cute little koalas here in the states maybe they could relate (sigh)
Marilyn Baldey
I am sure the koalas will be happy. They are really cute things, very dopey and sleepy and when I saw the wombats at close range lately they reminded me so much of the koala bear , aparantly they are related from the past, one went up the trees and one stayed on the ground.
owlspook replied
(smile) .. thank you Marilyn (smile) ...
