Amused teenage tolerance, better than rebellion. by 


I’ve been thinking and reading about six word stories lately and while I was working on this portrait of my sixteen year old son, Joshua, I thought it deserved its own six word story title. Of course, a picture is worth a thousand words, so this is actually a one-thousand-and-six-word-story. With a happy ending. : )

In between cooking, shopping, doing laundry, washing dishes, changing nappies and schooling my children I sometimes find a spare moment to doodle, draw or photograph something or someone. Those are the moments that keep me going, even if they are few and far between. Food for the artist mom’s soul.

    How perfect! There were certainly times I would’ve preferred “amused tolerance” over outright rebellion! Good looking young man…and you aren’t old enough to have a 16 year old!

  • lol… yes, I know just what you mean! thank you so much, Karen!!

    Your children are one and all gorgeously beautiful. Your title is GREAT and states it perfectly. Better than the “I hate you” glower any day! Love the lighting, too! Your children will be grateful for all the love you poured into this later in life—promise!

  • Lol… they’ll get all swollen headed should they hear you say that! : ) Thank you so much for your wonderfully kind comment, it is MUCH appreciated!

    I have three teens and home and I’m unfamiliar with “teenage tolerance”? :) More familiar with the rebellion I think…:) Great shot and handsome young man. I love the lighting and just a phenomenal shot all around. Great job!

  • Lol! well, you know Tony, they have good days and bad days… (this was a good one!) Thank you for your comment!
