Artist makes painting from the ashes that destroyed the harp making workshop of Harrari Harps

When I heard that Harrari Harps lost their workshop from a wild fire that destroyed their shop, I wanted to help in some way. I asked Shoshanna if I could have the ashes from their burned work shop to mix into my paint to make a painting as a fund raiser for their cause.

According to Times of Israel:

"The huge fire burned through some 25,000 dunams (6,200 acres) of forest outside Jerusalem between Sunday and Tuesday, {starting August 15, 2021}. Over 2,000 people were evacuated from their homes. Several houses were destroyed, though communities were largely spared. The Fire and Rescue Service said that during the 52-hour battle, forces confronted seven hotspots and that 200 units comprising 1,500 firefighters had participated in the efforts.

Officials have predicted that the rehabilitation process may take decades.

On Wednesday, Channel 13 news reported that officials believed the fire was started by arson, since it was ignited in two different places near Beit Meir, in an area that doesn’t see many hikers and where no objects have been found that could have started the fire by accident."

I named the painting "L'Chaim"
The painting took three months to plan and finish. The fire started on August 15 and I finished the painting on November 15, 2021. Everything in the painting has spiritual symbolism from the roots of the tree forming the Hebrew word L'CHAIM which means "to Life", to the sunrise that shines light through the tree branches which are shaped into a harp and lyres.
