On the Easel

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 innocence, essential energy, and innate purity.

I’d love to help record the fresh energy of newborns, toddlers and early youth

that changes so quickly (don’t we moms know!)

If you are interested in commissioning a portrait of your family,

let’s talk about how to make yours special.


Dorothy Perry photographs family and group portraits with a warm, emotional feel.

Show of Hands

I photographed their parents elopement portrait

and their blending families,

and amongst the official moments

of this special day, of a new life,

they created a new portrait

especially for me to see.

I wish their big, brand new family

many moments of unity, amity, and love.


Perry Portrait Art captures real families and their good energy.

Good Vibrations

One positive thought produces millions of positive vibrations.

John Coltrane

Send out a little ‘good vibration’ wherever you go!

Thoughts of your relaxed state, enjoying a beautiful song, enjoying nature, enjoying a cafe au lait in Paris,

feeling the air, sensing smells and sound until your body connects with the vision.

The key is increasing gradually the amount of time you can sit in this uplifted memory energy. Believe me, it feels great!

Can’t think of something right away? Get them all together and ready in one spot to go from one memory to the next.

Buy a special journal just for writing your good memories down

so that you are able to access your playlist of incredible whenever you need it!

This is specifically for memories that elicit feelings of love and happiness for you.

Some of mine are: My cat on my lap

Seeing rainbows during thunderstorms

Walking on the freshest green grass

Seeing a cardinal in a tree nearby

Seeing videos of my tiny granddaughter singing, etc…

This book is for your list of good memories; do not record ones that have tearful, regretful, or sad feelings.

Practice seeing the moments in your ‘mind’s eye’ until your body responds.

Whether or not it influences your environment immediately, you will be more awake and attuned.

The effects will emerge in awareness, improved experiences and a different quality of conversation.

Cheering for your success, Dorothy.

Loving Cup


With good will and applause,

I introduce my signed, special edition ceramic mug,

It beams out an artistic image of energy

to hold dark roast or Darjeeling.

I make it in single, a set of two,

and a set of four in which all have different energy designs.

Coffee is life. And energy.

I love making both.

Email perryportraitart@gmail.com for price.

These are a limited edition of eleven each.

Thank you for supporting a local artist.
