Dance Circle

At the scene called Sunday Service,

I’m so delighted I’ve got a spot

I can ‘put my hand on my hip and let my backbone slip.’

An additional pleasure is seeing photographs at every turn.

This child’s face of concentration lights the center

of a passionate crowd of dancing grownups.

Ideas Of The Future

Over the years I have lived as a photographer, I have realized that being a creative artist has, over time, has enabled me to be a creative ‘see-er’, too!

I treasure and cultivate my ability to see things differently by actively listening, day-dreaming, and using counterintuitive ideas to access an ability to look at your questions in a fresh new way.

This discernment allows me to:
‘connect the dots’,
find new ideas / markets for your niche,
see new directions,
enhance and improve offerings,
and refine messages to reflect more accuracy.

It’s a great feeling when I hear:
“That’s a very good idea!”
“I haven’t thought about it but that’s a good idea!”
“I love this!!! I’m totally going to share it with my group tomorrow!”

Reach out here or via my website Contact Page, and I am happy to ‘take a look’ at a topic of interest for your business – or for you.

I feel that this way of envisioning will bring you an original idea or concept you have never heard before. And it’s my desire that it will benefit your life immensely!

Tend Your Chicks

Chickens come home to roost, and so do your thoughts. Be careful what sort of thoughts you send out.

The thoughts you send out to others will have a far greater impact upon you than upon them.

Unlike a material possession, when you release a thought or give it to someone else, it also stays with you.

It may remain buried in your subconscious long after your conscious mind has forgotten about it.

Like chickens that return to the coop at night, such thoughts may flash into your consciousness when you least expect them.

When your thoughts are positive, you never have to worry about the damage you may do to yourself through negative thinking.

Cheerful, productive, happy thoughts that are buried in your subconscious bring positive results when they recur, and by their presence they encourage the maintenance of a positive attitude in all that you do.

This is a thought-energy selection from my favorite, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.


I would love to help create and maintain positive energy in the home through intimate family, personal and professional photography. Contact me to discuss creating that artwork at https://dorothyperry.com/contact/. See you there!

Dapper


This jaunty derby

was an essential part

of this young man’s

daily wear for school

for a time.

We artistic types recognize

what courage it takes

and what it costs

to be so different

in this world.

This tiny picture fragment

from long ago

becomes a testament

to childhood’s enduring,

beautiful spirit.

Fur Personal


sometimes your precious cats or dogs
look their best in a nice outfit!

Framed ‘royal portraits’ of your beloved ‘fur persons’

can be transformed into pillows, photo art, skins

or other ways to keep your loved ones’ good energy visible!

Artistic, original pet or memorial art of your fur babies by Perry Portrait Art.

Generosity of Spirit

waving good luck cat maneki neko

There is a generosity of spirit I continually refer to in dealing with others.

The best way I can describe it is intent, creation, and maintenance of a state of mind

that is flexible, open eyed, and playfully creative.

It trains itself to see abundance in the environment,

experiences simple, present-moment emotions of happiness,

maintains a grounded, connection with internal wisdom (quickly when needed)

and surrounds itself with reminders

to look upward and inward for its answers.
