“Dancing on Air” (acrylic), by Matthew Peake, in Galatea Fine Art’s online (pandemic) gallery. The explanatory text with this: “A bird's eye view of a stunning moment; this is an unusual view of a lively wedding dance. The energy is dizzying when looked upon from this point of view, but the joyous place in time is forever captured.’’

Matthew Peake, M.D., who lives in Rockingham, Vt., which is on the Connecticut River, was a primary-care physician in the Brattleboro, Vt., area for many years before becoming a full-time artist in 2006.
