Life Stages In Beauty
by Rosa Cobos
Creased skin..
Wisdom of days and nights.
An apple in its sweetness..
bloom of Soul.
I wonder…
When a new born…Capabilities at full.
When older..
One should leave some of them
for acquiring new ones.
So in old age..
Where does our mind
Soul?
Specifically
Stress the unending
Process of…
Learning Life-Wisdom?
She is behind… but just
For pushing her
Out
Of the egg.
Mother…
Creased earth..
Always ripen
Seeding all away.

Rosa (No words… though this strenght of motherly touch.. is fantastic for me.. it is almost like an strong fairy tale.Golden… passionate… humble… secure… firm.That one who “knows” does not look but inside… that who does not “kow”... is looking ahead. Absentminded.Perfect)

Fabulous image linaji! I’m really liking the contrast of the deeply wrinkled face with the powder smooth face. And such character in the mama’s face! I bet she has some stories to tell :)

Larasolnishko
I love that theme of continuation of mother to daughter, father to son. It is beautiful as well, when they stand in front of each other and looking to each other eyes and see themselves as a reflection of inner world which will live forever.

I love what this reveals, Lina. A lived life is so beautiful. Each line of her face is another story from her life. And the woman in front of her shows a life of promises yet to be.

Mysticmoon
Just spotted this amazing image which somehow reminds me of ‘Memoires of a Geisha’ ... and even more so of the maiden, mother, crone stages in life. The maiden/mother’s beauty yet untouched by life’s experience with an expression of anticipation of what life may bring. The crone’s beauty shows wisdom, compassion and so it seems also happy memories….
linaji replied
MYSTIC MOON!!!!! I want to thank you for feeling exactly what I was continuing to build on as I created this piece.. I was lucky though..both of them were just this far apart and looking this way at the exact same moment.. it was only when I got back and looked through the shots of that day did I see what a prize I shot.. I used a type of treatment I have been trying to learn.. by pokeing around in my photoshop room.. as I call it.. So this makes me very happy girl!
Del Millar

They are stunningly beautiful- one with promise and one with wisdom. Exquisite photo!
linaji replied
Ohh thank you so much Dayonda.. this is my work at it’s finest.. I do love portraits.. my fave.. that is why I would love to have taken shots of you.. I love stories in people and their faces
Dayonda
You’d have taken pictures of a wild woman, sitting sideways on her parked Harley Davidson (with the lid from a can under the kick-stand), helmet on the handlebars, bent over a tiny bird held lying on its back in her hand. I suppose I was making those silly expressions we make when feeding a baby, lol! Yup, you’d have agotten some great photos! ROFL! And what if you’d caught me kissing a tiny little feathered belly! Then you’d have had a shot! No hot birds here in the land of water, though.
linaji replied
OMG!! YOU HAVE INDEED!! painted a photo op I would die for!! I would be a hero here and you would definitly be the ANGEL!! OLOLOLO!!

linaji replied
WHAT AN HONOR!! your comment is in my hall of fame ..straight to my heart!! thank you Steve.
Luke Downes
I’ve been thinking of these two for a whole day now, since I first saw the image….the quote in steve’s comment is fitting of how I see this: you loved these women, at least in this moment, and it shows….this is really wonderful, lina!
linaji replied
Luke,,, you and Steve both are the kind of guest into the artists life that makes this journey more and more meaningful and FUN! And I say fun because I feel so good when I feel you have indeed reminded me of how I got this to work!! Indeed.. I did adore these two as I shot them!! You remind me today what life and art is all about ..the journey the journey!! I am so glad you are home for a bit darling friend and Mentor too!!

linaji replied
xoxo thanks so much Michael!!
shallay
No-one has commented on their likeness – though they have commented on everything else! Don’t feel there is very much more for me to say, but I do like that they have ‘the same face’ divided only by time. And that the humour of the elderly one, shows she is not demeaned by age. If anything, it is the younger one with fair skin who appears apprehensive about what is before her. Like that it gets away from stereotypes.
linaji replied
I enjoyed your comment so very much.. I was fascinated by the two..
SarahCook
This is amazing!!!
linaji replied
Thanks so much Sarah!! good to see you here.:=}
Lidiya Filipova
That’s absolutely amazing! They both look so beautiful… Great portrait, Lina! It inspires me to paint it…
linaji replied
Can you? I would be so so honored!! I would put it on my site too.. Ohhhh Lidiya!!!! xoxox
Lidiya Filipova
Yes, I would like to paint it, I am not sure if I could do the mother, have no experience with so rich texture faces, but will for sure paint the beautiful daughter!:) Great, feel so excited, only pray to be alone for 2 days, as I share a room…
linaji replied
I WILL SEND YOU LOTS OF SPACE.. OXOXOXXOXOX
linaji
I know you could do the mother too.. you did my butt!! tee hee.. xox

Michael Kienhuis
This is one of your best shots! You must enter this in some competitions, you’d do well with this. Well done! Love it! M:>
linaji replied
I have often thought about this and I need to know who=what where.. do you know where to look for these comps..
you are very kind Michael!!
Michael Kienhuis
Search the internet for comps in your own country, there will be many, even OS, they usually cost $ to enter but this is a great image, you should do it. National Geographic also have comps i think. This image shows knowledge, wisdom, love, beauty, and the relationship between mother and daughter, It IS sensational. M:>
linaji replied
Thanks so much Michael.. you are wonderful!
