RAINBOW UPON LITTLE RIVER FALL

RAINBOW UPON

LITTLE RIVER FALL

Oil on Canvas - 16 X 20"

By Ruth Ferraz

Above more one canvas of another beautiful view from Northeast Alabama, specifically in Fort Payne country side: Little River Fall with the Rainbow above it, which I have painted with Oil on Canvas, 16 X 20".

I have visited this fall personally and took pictures, but as I think they aren't so beautiful I used these ones from Google as models:

I will paint this subject again with the canvas lay down to stretch more the rainbow. Once you know the techniques and how to use the brushes, oil paint minerals, flax seed oil or whatever materials, you can paint or do anything you want, but need practice to get the perfection. I am still improving my techniques doing my best everytime. I believe any professional should look forward to do the best in their area also, being diligent, because Art is everything we do with Love, with the pure interesting to help others, not mainly for get money.

I was for months being inspired to paint this scenic place, specially with the rainbow that sometimes appear there. After I have seen 2 rainbows in July/2025, I decided really to painted it now to mark this experiences I will describe ahead. Check out the story behind the inspirations for this canvas:

- In July/13/2025 happened that my beloved Julie Cat passed away with almost 19 years old. I think that just who love animals and pets will understand this article totally and the deep love I have for this 'purfect' kitty.

One day before her passing I saw a rainbow above my barn and I felt that was the Lord comforting and preparing me about her passing next day. See pictures below:

Before Julie Cat passed away she was for 10 months receiving fluids because her kidney wasn't working anymore. Twice a week I was going to the Animal Hospital with her for this procedure. It was very tough months to me as I am facing a lot of trails and tribulations in my personal life with some dishonest and perverted people what is leading me in a great affliction and distress. My neighbor stole my 1000 feet fence, dropped 3 cows and other 3 was born in my field and I have payed $5,000.00 retainer for a lawyer for a lawsuit and him quit on me 2 weeks before the court date main because I dont want to do an Agreement with a thief! People really aren't afraid to spend the eternity burning in the Hell!

"Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him." (James 1.12)

Besides this Julie was always upset when the needle was pitting her skin for the injection of the fluids. I will not say all details here of my Calvary, if not you can cry with me and I want you just worship the Lord with me, because he is a real dad who doesn't spoil his kids: I am stronger and bold than ever. Praise! If you are going in trials also don't permit the Evil to put depression in you, be sad but react! Transform the disgusting situations in opportunities to grow in spirituality and in life. Only the Lord deserve our tears, then run to him and worship him!

I am sorry to say, but as much more I know human nature more I love the animals. No wonder even the Lord prefered to put the animals in Noah Ark instead people. Only Noah family was survived that time. After the Big Flood in all Earth, a Rainbow appeared for the first time. Always when I see a rainbow I remember this part in the the Bible.

If you think I am kidding, look these 3 dogs who were ABANDONED in my road last week. Somebody just open the car doors and dropped them 😢 How people can be so cruel?

I was trying to help at least one, but how they were so scared I didn't get to put one inside my car to bring to the vet for a shower and vaccines. But praise the Lord, who answer prayers! It arrived another young lady and rescue the 3 dogs to adopt everybody. I am so glad to know that still have real kind and diligent people to help others without take advantage. She had already a dog the same brand, look the picture inside her trunk:

Ok, let me to come back to tell you about my Julie Cat. When she passed and I needed to burial her dead body and it was a so dramatic situation as I have never touched a death body in my lifetime. Her body was so hard as a rock or concrete and I was so afraid to break her tiny organism. Do you know all dead bodies become like a rock? Oh My Godness, how sad and difficult moment! My hubby helped me as I had digged a whole some days before, then we set it there.

Above me and Julie Cat in 2008. I met her in 2006 abandoned in a empty lot, she was only 1 month old, the size of my hands. In this picture above she was 2 years old. I never thought I would love a cat so much like this as I grow up with cats for me to like cats was normal. My first cat passed with 16 years old, but how I was a teenager I didn't fell so much because I wasn't so attached to her. But Julie Cat I am still mourning almost 2 months after her passing, as she was a real member of my family.

Two weeks after her passing, the Animal Hospital in Fort Payne, AL, where she was receiving the fluids, sent to me this beautiful card below, everybodythere signed it: the Doctors, technicians and receptionists:

Another rainbow 😃

Above, the cover of the card the vet sent to me. Very beautiful the text inside about the Rainbow Bridge, saying that when pets die cross it, but it is a myth from the 80s. Fantasy! It looks like silly but this card confirm what I felt with the two real rainbows I saw, it was the Lord comforting me. He can use even a donkey to talk with us, He can use a beautifull card and rainbows also. See: - After one hour I received the card I saw another rainbow in the same area a saw the first, above my barn, but this last one was more stand up as you can see in the picture below. For me was really a confirmation that Julie got to cross the 'Rainbow to the Lord', and she is with the Him now, happier than me. Her spirit came back to Him!

I live in this property for seven years now and I have never ever seen a rainbow here before.

I hope one day I will be able to cross the Rainbow to Heaven also, to see her again, if Jesus do not come back before I die and then the saved and FULL OF THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD will be rupture to meet Him in the sky.

When He to come back we will go with Him "beyond the blue river", the New Jerusalem, where will have no pain, tears, fears or death anymore, no goodbyes too! It will be just eternal Life, love and peace with Jesus Christ: ALL THINGS WILL BE NEW! How amazing it will be!

But while I am here in this Evil world I will be trying to show the beautiness in my actions, in my canvas and musics. And also saying the Truth about what is going on in this End Times.

Here is the part from the Bible about the first time a rainbow appear and Lord's covenant with mankind, in Genesis 9:13-17:

13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; 15 and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

Thank you Lord for the covenant you have with us since in the Old Testament and the fulfillment of the Scriptures with your begotten son you sent to save us!
