I really liked the stacked ears. This was taken in Katmai National Park in Alaska. The only way into the particular area this was taken in is by float plane. No roads, boat access and hiking might be 40 plus miles to get there. We landed on a small pond nearby and walked to the area of the river to watch the Salmon run. The place where we were when I took the image is a small flat area above the river where the Salmon were spawning. Look hard and you will see a small portion of the river in the frame. We spent quite some time with this group. Mom was fishing and the two first year cubs played with each other on shore when we first spotted them. Then she took them up and away from the river. Mom looked exhausted. Male grizzlies will kill the cubs in order to mate so she had to keep moving them around. She felt comfortable enough with us that she fell asleep and through a long lens I was able to photograph them for quite some time. A day to remember for sure. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eLooking at the bear images from that shoot brings back lots of memories.

The original painting was inspired from the quick sketch I had done of the Giambologna marble sculpture \u003cem\u003eRape of the Sabine Women\u003c\/em\u003e (1579–1583) located in the Loggia del Lanzi, Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy. The sculpture has three characters entwined in movement and passion that culminates with the young woman's upper torso and arm raised.  For me, the masterful sculpture does not at all depict a scene or sense of abduction or rape -- but one of the divine masculine protecting the divine feminine. I named the painting \"Lifted\" as for me it represents the feelings one would have in a harmonious relationship where both individuals feel mutally supported, protected, loved and lifted higher by being together. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs I was with a group about to head off on a tour of the Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze, I had only a very limited amount of time to capture a quick sketch of the sculpture, which is why only two of the three characters are depicted in my painting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-adtags-visited=\"true\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Though no record of who commissioned the piece exists, it was most likely Duke Francesco de’ Medici, son of Duke Cosimo I. Giambologna, expert in the mannerist style, was interested in producing a piece that could provide an interesting view from all angles and that included an unprecedented count of three figures. Though the statue was intended as a display of the artist’s aptitude and did not explicitly depict the story of the Sabines, Duke Francesco invented the idea upon placing in in the Loggia.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-adtags-visited=\"true\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGiambologna’s densely packed, intertwined  composition took on the story of the legendary Roman myth of when the first generation of Romans robbed the neighboring Sabine people of their women to take them as wives and populate the newly birthed Rome. This scene of abduction, with an older male figure at the bottom making an ineffectual attempt at preventing a stronger male figure from making off with a struggling young woman, clearly depicts a struggle of power between the three figures.

The \"Look At The Ass\" painting reflects the power of social influence and cultural mind shift in a societal preference for a curvier body shape.  The BBL trend has continued over the decades and is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. In 2021, it was estimated nearly 400,000 people worldwide underwent the procedure.

In the distance, a faint stretch of land emerges, veiled in atmospheric light -- a quiet reminder of journeys past and those yet to come.

There's nothing quite like the amplified speaker sound of that needle as it first hits the vinyl. But I digress. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreek mythology is as fascinating now as it was then, and thousands of years ago. However, the stories are much more than a collection of enchanting tales. Most of them can be described as psychological allegories that deal with the complex, subtle and recurring problems of human existence.  The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Minotaur\" title=\"Myth of the Minotaur\" target=\"_blank\"\u003emyth of the Minotaur\u003c\/a\u003e is one that is as compelling as it is tragic, and also varied in it's depictions and interpretations over time; making it a highly desirable subject for artists throughout the centuries to translate into  painted and sculptured forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Lady \u0026amp; The Minotaur\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e painting is an alternate and more fanciful depiction of the Minotaur's (unseen) persona; one that is dominant yet protective in it's masculine nature versus savage -- which was the common assumption (a projection) of humans placed upon the Minotaur. The painting shows the Minotaur placing a divine lady to safety under a Mastic tree, and her admiration for his care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI love this painting because of the varied way in which different people perceive it. Some view the painting as described above, and others see it vastly different -- as being highly sexual or savage. I implore you, the viewer to observe and reflect on your own thoughts, reaction and formed assumptions of the painting and the why behind it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BAINZY Art Gallery","offers":[{"title":"17\" x 22\" Limited Edition Fine Art Print","offer_id":47917950238946,"sku":"LADYMINOTAUR17X22","price":150.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13\" x 19\" Limited Edition Fine Art Print","offer_id":47917950271714,"sku":"LADYMINOTAUR13x19","price":125.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5\" x 11\" Limited Edition Fine Art Print","offer_id":47917950304482,"sku":"LADYMINOTAUR8.5x11","price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/2120\/5218\/products\/Lady-and-the-Minotaur-Melissa-M-Bain.jpg?v=1737068144"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/2120\/5218\/collections\/figurative-paintings_b45748d0-dd38-45ac-a0c2-6b5f18d682e3.jpg?v=1736984792","url":"https:\/\/bainzyartgallery.com\/collections\/buy-art-prints.oembed","provider":"BAINZY ART GALLERY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
