Selfie Expression

Dorothy PerryLeave a comment

Many people depend on others to document their speaking and pictures next to their artwork in social receptions. “Do you want me to take your picture?” I hear often.

Some even ask me if they can use MY camera to take it!

But I smile and decline because I know how they are going to look, simple as that.

What diva-adjacent behavior I exhibit is largely around attempts to take my photos

in candid social situations, usually with very little notice or preparation.

My mouth and eyes are both lively and mobile and moving at different times,

and from experience sitting for and seeing photographs from others,

in all honesty, I will be polite, but I won’t like the picture you just took of me.

It has even happened with someone taking my photo for an award I won:

I didn’t ask to see them (it’s not good manners),

but the short shoot did not inspire confidence: they’re photos for the archives only.

I am grateful for the viewer sending me a picture of me during my reception,

catching a composition made with a view of my artwork,

but seeing that this image also has my face moving, mid thought,

reminds me in one shot that I have the right

to curate my vision and visual the way I want them,

especially with public images of myself.

Good Vibrations

Dorothy PerryLeave a comment

Radiate a ‘good vibration’ wherever you go:

your relaxed state of mind and view filling the air,

sensing touch scent and sound wraparound ‘in your mind’s eye’

until your body connects with the vision.

I call it ‘uplifted memory’ energy.

One positive thought produces millions of positive vibrations.

John Coltrane

Whether or not it influences your environment immediately,

the ability to shift and to ‘reset’ an emotional mood

and place your dreams in your vision forefront

allows for new spirit and enthusiasm to enter

and to raise the bar on a future desire.

To your good vibrational dreams becoming reality,

Her dream was to have a show of her photography. She had a solo show of her images of Summerdance in downtown Chicago in 2024.

Coffee is life. And energy.

I love making both.

My signed, limited edition ceramic mug is 11 oz for dark roast or Darjeeling,

my son’s hands signing LOVE to sweeten the brew.

ceramic mug with boys fingers signing out LOVE.

A single mug is sixty dollars (shipping incl.) through perryportraitart@gmail.com.

On the Easel

Dorothy PerryLeave a comment

Today’s On The Easel is an infant’s portrait in natural light.

Very small infants are absolutely lovely while they observe their world around them. They truly embody the innate energy of innocence and presence

and the ‘beginners mind’ that so many major religions seek as wisdom.

I’d love to help record the fresh faces of newborns, toddlers and early youth that changes so quickly (don’t we moms know!)

Let’s talk about how to make yours special.

Good Looking Out

Dorothy Perry1 Comment

As I live my Life self-educating as a self experiment,

it is valuable to me to have readings done with a few trusted practitioners

to see if I am showing and projecting what I am doing.

I call my offer a form of focused attention ‘Good Looking Out’

that utilizes exploratory targeted intuition

to ‘read’ your question for a fresh look at possible solutions

that are practical in capacity and aligned with integrity.

HIGH FREQUENCY ATTENTION that flowers and branches where it will go.

The clarity of a ‘good looking out’ starts here.

Prayer for A Bellydancer

Prayer for A Bellydancer

Dorothy PerryLeave a comment

I like men’s belly dance music.

And my algorithm brings forth

a channel of Turkish dancers.

All very wiry very tough guys in thrusts and hip rolls,

drums, violin, clarinet, other strings,

old guys with finger cymbals,

and fast, strong physical dancing my dance seeking rhythm really loves.

100% ALL MEN unless a grandma clapping on her seat.

Though these men are professionals, I am not really watching them in seductively dancing,

I am watching the style of some specific dancers.

And my crush: An unnamed performer with a fresh natural skill.

I saw a early reel with enthusiasm and a unique, natural enjoyment.

A little chubby guy with a great smile and an ease my inner dancer recognized.

Then tourist photos of him busking on the street, still smiling,

then at a wedding, in neat, nice haircut and nice shirt.

In time the thing done for the joy of it

will change in the routine of it,

the baby face will be changed by the hours and food

and stimulants and some places surgery.

Some stars deliberately cultivate gigantic ponderous bellies to jiggle.

I do not know him, but please protect his spirit and his smile in the cutthroat ocean he swims in.

Protect the groups he plays with, the people who help his life and livelihood.

And keep him safe from the ‘inspiration’ of the jelly bellied.

The dancer in blue pants. I love his cheroot.

And a fast-moving song my brain calls “the bak bak bak bak song” for fun. No dancers, just the music. Enjoy!

I photograph joyous dancing feeling

that stirs my feet, my hips, and my soul.

I Thank God for ways music enters my world.

Getting To It

Dorothy PerryLeave a comment

My pictures come in as sentences,

short bursts of words my mind plays

in response to a picture or feeling.

Not song lyrics or anothers poetry

but what my mind says in seeing it;

the repeated refining and speaking it aloud,

the ear to hear a new sentence within,

creates the energetic poetry

that finally gets to what

I really mean to say.

Shining Your Light

Dorothy PerryLeave a comment

You will be alone many times

when you shine, stand out, grow, excel or are happy.

Even in groups, even among your friends.

Be okay with aloneness for learning to trust and befriend yourself.

Counterintuition: an instant change of picture and response,

given by neuro and physical emotions saying, ‘this, instead‘.

It’s a part of your intuition and a place that comes from even further out / (or deeper);

a ‘wild card’ of deep knowing, immediately.

It requires trust in yourself like never before,

physically being in your body like never before,

which is the practice of inside body connection and inner communication

that builds mental and emotional strength to do other things,

and in that spirit, ultimately, the things you were meant to do.

Influence Your Home’s Energy Atmosphere

Dorothy PerryLeave a comment

Seen at different times of the day,

the art in your home engages and influences your energy.

Like arranging feng shui elements in a home

bringing flowing good energy into life activities,

your art has other metaphysical abilities in addition to decoration.

A life missions’ purpose in the morning, inspiration in the afternoon,

or a satisfying sense of legacy relaxing in the evenings.

I have had clients hang their couples’ portrait in their kitchen

where they contemplate their relationship

in the private early morning time before work.

Others hang child portraits eye-level,

raising confidence in photos of love

on the walls they pass every day.

Baby sized portrait books offer

a personalized bedtime storytelling experience.

Beauty created for both the eyes and spirit.

I would love to know if you have created

such zones of energy in your home in this manner.

It is easy but intentional. Contact me to create this ‘flow’ of energy

whether with my custom portraits or your own.
