From anything
That may not strengthen
Your precious budding wings.”

Some days worry
some days glad
some days
more than make you 
mad.
Some days,
some days, more than
shine:
when you see what’s coming
on down the line!

“Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?'
Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand.”

“A portrait is not a likeness. The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion. There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth. ”

"Passage" has taken a life of its own as most art does which tickles me (purple). As the show comes into its final week, I am reminded of how truly blessed I am to know such great human beans who are as quirky as I am. Meet Steph Grant, a wildly talented artist who stopped by the Galatea Fine Art gallery. We have collaborated on several conceptual projects over the years and have something very special in the works! Back to the question however, what elevates art to fine art?

"бодаться"

БОДА́ТЬСЯ means butting heads in Russian which is often an appropriate dynamic to describe a parent and child relationship, especially between a mother and daughter. Sasha and Vasi were the perfect models for the most recent "Creating Your Vision photography workshop at Galatea Fine Art Gallery in Boston. 

When asked to describe their feelings when viewing this photograph, they replied...


Sasha: "Even though we bump heads from time to time.  No matter how big the conflict, the bond is never broken. The connection is there from birth to death." 

Vasi: "As my mother once said 'A child is someone who you can contemplate murdering but love to the moon and back. All at the same time."
