Description
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

What a beautiful image Jane, love all those furry loved ones there at the bridge waiting.. This is beautiful work for the cat website, I am sure they will love it. Well done, definitely a top job!!
It is exactly what it should be. A gorgeous tribute. Thank you my friend it has lifted my heart. With your permission I will place the address in PFD so that my friends there can see it. We are all close to our pets and this image will lift the spirits as we remember those who have crossed the rainbow bridge
Or doorway to cats Paradise...it's not the rainbow bridge that I know (at the end of Lake Powell), this one is like a dream. Dear Jane, your images are always marvelous, charming, touching. You make us feel better...many thanks for this.

Beautiful & peaceful looking scene & artwork dear Jane, love it! Have a nice day, Ute
This is a fine plate to look atto.. Fantastice creation.
Jane, I have no sorrow of the loss of my beloved old cat Bamse, as I know it was his time to pass on and because I know, what a good life he has had with us. I can still remember his soft fur, holding him, his gentleness and all our worries, when he was sick. I feel lucky, I had all that and I still feel he is in our hearts, even though he passed away many years ago. It is a lovely thought, that our pets go to a happy place over the Rainbow Bridge, as you so wonderfully describe in your lovely image, Jane. It is such a comforting image indeed. You really know how to give comfort those who are in need for that :-)
SERA POR GATITOS. UNA ESCENA GENIAL.
What a wonderful world you've created here, a delightful cat sanctuary and most adorable composition! I hope that this paradise for cats exist because they are the most faithful friends to mankind, even though they may seem independent-minded. Hugs, Jluc :-)•:¨¨:•~

First I have to thankyou for e.mailing me to tell me your beautiful image was uploaded & was it ok you had mentioned Little Bernie. It is really a comfort to think that all our beloved, wonderful friends be it cats, dogs, horses, the list could be endless would arrive at a beautiful place like this. Being met by a wonderful angel, to welcome & keep them on the straight & narrow no doubt :o) I believe Bernie has reached this peaceful place as he has left me a sign to say he had arrived & was safe. Thankyou Jane your work is amazing & I have the added thrill of sitting beside you & watching how its done :o) :o) Roll on Friday, make sure the virus is not going through its check. :o) :o)
