The arrival





While my underground colors are drying, lets have a tea on my working desk.
Lets take a little break and tell a story.



Somewhere behind a dark river, there is a place for cat souls.
When a cat has used up her nine lives, her soul goes on the journey there.
Some cats are well protected and become very old. Loved and caressed by their people,
but never defended against accidents.
Cats often happen a lot -

And there are also those who live homeless, in fee and they consume
 their nine lives very quickly.
After 2 or 3 years, they go over.
There are diseases, hunger, pain, bad people, cars and machines, wild animals - 
their world is full of dangers.
After a long suffering or suddenly they leave their wounded bodies
 and go to the other place.
At first it gets very cold and dark, then the black water is there and a boat.
Everything feels light suddenly, the pain is extinguished and only the memory 
of a caressing hand perhaps, some sad loving words. 
Human's tears maybe...




There are other cats in the boat and they glide silently over the water in the darkness.
It's cold and they freeze at first.
But then it gets brighter and there is an island.
An angel has lit a fire and they jump over the edge of the boat 
to sit by the fireplace. 
Meeting other, unknowed or well knowed cats.
They tell each other about the human who were so painful to leave
or about their ecperiences in an  enemy world.
All memories flow together to a chronicle of the cats.
They forget of it all, but nothing is lost.
Now they are here and waiting for new bodies and next nine lives.
Often they don't wait for a long time and their journey leeds back to our world.
The memory of the dark river will fade.
Until next time.




Made this picture 25th of january, inspired by Try it on Tuesday's promt "Fire and ice"
The story came into my mind while painting.


and Tom may excuse me, that my Photos Tunes today are painting tunes.
I haven't any photos, fitting better to this old song.

  2. Das ist eine Hoffnung gebende Geschichte und ein wundervolles Bild dazu Mascha!Die Farben sind gewaltig miteinander! Toll!
    Bei uns Menschen ist es ganz ähnlich mit dem Sterben und wieder geboren werden!
    Die Seele muss so lange geboren werden bis sie die wahre Liebe geben und empfinden kann, erst dann darf sie im Lichtreich bleiben.
    Ich freu mich riesig das wunderbare Bild bei Try It On Tuesday zu sehen!
    Ganz liebe Grüße von
    Susi

  12. I love it when you take us to your beautiful studio. The view would be very distracting for me because I would be caught up in its beauty.

    However, the story you told was quite sad. I felt the cats pain and suffering. I felt the loss. But I was happy they found the angel and the fire in the end. This is a beautiful painting and a very moving story. Thanks for sharing your talents and your tea and fruit with us at T this Tuesday. It's very, very moving art.

  13. Your painting is fascinating. And your story is so emotional. It made me sad. But I must say I love your BIG work table and the view outside. I don't have an outside view and it does make me jealous. The light and the green would inspire me and I can tell that they might be part of your inspiration too. Happy T day. Hugs-Erika

  26. I love to make up stories while I am painting, I think it's gives the piece more depth. For everything there is a purpose!

  27. I enjoyed your very moving story and love the painting as the end of the story.

    AntwortenLöschen
  28. The painting is alive, even without your story, but the story makes the painting even more significant! I love the bright colors. This would be great as a story in a children's book! And you painted this on my anniversary (but I was sick, so I didn't celebrate it) - thank you Mascha!
