The Reality of Relativity

November 10, 2020 by Mary Gow

Heart No. 5 by Mary Gow

Heart No. 5 by Mary Gow

Heart No. 5 is again a watercolor painting I photographed then applied a filter to and further manipulated it with Photoshop. Illustrative effects with this filter – reminds me of attitudes. Often it’s not all one way or another, there’s a scale of relativity. Not much is really black or white, instead, much is in a range in between. Life takes us through a spectrum, a range of feelings, teachings, experiences.

I remember many years ago seeing a quote in a company newsletter, “Attitude equals altitude.”

That’s a shortening of Zig Ziglar’s original words:
“It is your attitude, more than your aptitude, that will determine your altitude.”

Read more about the quote here.

Choose your filters wisely.
