Beyond the Rainbow Bridge

“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”

-Albert Einstein

It’s a human trait to worry about how we will be remembered and what we will leave behind a dog doesn't spend his life planning for the future and when they pass, they have left behind an imperishable legacy. From Ancient Greece to 20th century, art dogs have maintained a constant and evolving presence throughout art history. They often represented wealth, loyalty, power, devotion, good breeding grief an unconditional love.

Deja vu, 2026, 48" x 36", Acrylic on canvas

“In certain cultures there is a belief your dog was chosen for you long before you were born because something between your two souls needed to meet for a purpose a lesson to be learned patience, love, loyalty, compassion, commitment and courage.”

Deja vu there’s something called the soul dog and I know many years ago. I met my soul dog Meg. We had a short time together . Meg was diagnosed with cancer .She was the greatest sweetest wonderful dog. I was devastated after her loss. I felt her everywhere a strong spirt connection I just could not explain. I knew what we started was incomplete I wondered do dogs reincarnate? I asked my vet, he said yes they do and rather quickly before I knew it, on a Fat Tuesday afternoon four years later our spirts reunited. I got that second chance to have her again.

God is dog spelled backwards, 2026, 60×60, Acrylic on canvas

God is dog spelled backwards. Once you see it you will never forget it. I really believe that dogs are angels we can touch. Maybe its was Gods way of showing us that angels are real and he sent them for a reason I say they’re angels because they never abandon us in our time of need they don’t judge or hold grudges they love us unconditionally and maybe these are the messages we all need to learn from the dog.
