First steps in AW... 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,

This is simply stunning Nira and a beautiful tribute to Sumsum. Grief, though sad, can produce the most beautiful of images. It can also help us to move on. Art can give us the chance to say goodbye, though it can never heal the hurt we feel it can help us express it. Excellent and a very heartfelt work.esther baltisberger 26 May 2008

Hi dear Nira ~ I'm so sorry for your loss. I understand your sad...very much. This piece is awesome and your artwork made Sumsum's peace like this picture. The Rainbow Bridge ....such a lovely story! I really love this magical picture! *Have a wonderful creative day*Steven Torrisi 24 May 2008
Art mends a heart broken. I know that feeling of lost for treasured pet who is friend and family. In October 06, one of my dogs — Muggsy — died of heart attack in my arms. Several days before that happened I awoke with a fealing of something going to happen. Perhaps it was preparation or premenition. Every now and then I think I see a glance of him wondering the house. Just yesterday in the coffeeshop where I draw a woman came in carrying a dog that looked just like him. Thanks for sharing.Kathie Nichols 23 May 2008
