Their energy and purity of spirit is infectious and sublime.
My most recent series, entitled, ‘Fly’, is in essence, about the belief that when children are nurtured and encouraged as individuals, they will discover their ability to ‘Fly,’ see and achieve. My work explores the desire to preserve the child like spirit in all of us and the unfortunate and debilitating emotional effects that occur when that spirit is eroded, broken or stolen.
Give a child you know the "gift of flight"! If you would like to commission a one of a kind , heirloom portrait of your little one, using the "Fly" motif, please contact me at judiharz@aol.com or visit my website at http://www.judeharzerfineart.com.</description><copyright>Copyright (C) 2008</copyright><ttl>5</ttl><item><title>Silver Strands of Promise</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/461e6d16-86e8-4a6a-b6c7-4f45eae3e435/uploadedartwork/100X100/a4e48bf9-cd2a-459e-9a9b-38f5a55b73fd.jpg' alt='a4e48bf9-cd2a-459e-9a9b-38f5a55b73fd' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;15 % of the cost of this piece will be donated to the Art For Cancer group, and specifically sent to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.

Native American ‘dream catchers’ were created to ‘filter’ these dreams, allowing the good to gently pass through, and the bad to become tangled and ultimately dissolved with the light of each new day.
I wish that we could capture the nightmares that threaten a child’s sleep and allow only beautiful thoughts to visit them in their slumber.
This is among my favorites because of it's personal origins and inspiration!

A child offers a 'breath of inspiration.' We are all colorful in our own individuality. If children are encouraged and celebrated for their 'uniqueness', their ability to 'Fly' and achieve will be made more possible.!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.a-picture-a-day.com/AFC/AFCimagelogo_2_15.jpg" width="152" height="78" alt="This is an ART for cancer image" title="This is an ART for cancer image"&gt;&lt;/br&gt;</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Fly-Giver-of-Life-and-Light_art_art?IMID=ff090d40-c3f8-407c-90e6-77827dd98d88</link></item><item><title>Fly: Self Realization</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/461e6d16-86e8-4a6a-b6c7-4f45eae3e435/uploadedartwork/100X100/8726a859-9895-4f49-bc83-b7969f52947f.jpg' alt='8726a859-9895-4f49-bc83-b7969f52947f' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Fly-Self-Realization_art_art?IMID=8726a859-9895-4f49-bc83-b7969f52947f</link></item><item><title>Fly: Breathe</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/461e6d16-86e8-4a6a-b6c7-4f45eae3e435/uploadedartwork/100X100/3dfa75b9-f954-4fc6-8f2d-b7affb27f017.jpg' alt='3dfa75b9-f954-4fc6-8f2d-b7affb27f017' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A young woman shares the breath of life and love with a sleeping child.

There is nothing more beautiful, and more vulnerable, than a sleeping child. All children deserve to rest, blanketed by comfort and warmth. I pray that they may slumber sweetly, but know that some do not.

My own children posed for this composition. The limited, blue-grey palette, reinforces the sense of quiet and calm. My work is a visual story, but the meaning is dependent upon the perception of the ‘reader.’ Imagery such as the fish, eggs and water, are traditionally symbolic of ‘life.’ The rest is open to interpretation.
