Shade is not too happy to be awakened from her nap. She is also quite poofy from the dry air in the house this time of year.
Beauty shots as part of the series "Awake"
I shot this using a beauty dish very close to models face.
Tucking their bills into the warmth of their feathers the geese were one by one dropping off to doze happily in the low sunshine

If you shake Adalinda's tail she wakes up, opening her eyes, moving her wings and shaking the floor with her growl. Si shook that tail about 40 times.

But this morning I discovered her 8th teeth, so that's why she was awake!
(Vanmorgen ontdekte ik haar 8e tandje! Daarom was ze wakker geworden en huilde ze veel de afgelopen nachten! Zal onze nachtrust weer terugkeren?)
How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know
This weakness I feel I must finally show
Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free
Har har, har har, har har, har har
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life
Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
You were made to meet your maker
I promise I'm done uploading for a while :P

“Be awake enough to see where you are at any given time and how that is beautiful and has poetry inside.” - Jeff Buckley
The past week or two have *definitely* seen an increase in wakefulness -- William is spending more and more time awake and observing his world, which makes sense given that he can see further and further every day!
Surviving cancer and using art as a tool for healing, reflection and understanding has infused my art with a sense of energy and optimism that has a universal appeal. The process of making the art as well as the meaning of it, are both an integral part of the end result and for me there is always a battle to harmonize between the two – to evoke the emotion of the piece and to empower the viewer.
I love combining traditional and new media painting techniques where one feeds off the energy of the other. The visual collaboration of both medias often celebrates a bold expressionism and optimistic edge regardless of subject matter.
My work has evolved from a mashing of referenced pop art and iconic imagery into elaborate multilayered portraits and scenes that depict a more personal interpretation of my life experience, battles and passions. My goal is to lead the observer to dramatic action, putting them on the edge between what we know and what is unknowable. I’ve learned that something new will always come about when you push hard enough and the result is the revelation of a “new identity”.
The motivation for me to keep going is to gain an understanding of how this “new identity or rebirth or truth” actually reflects my life as well as the world we live in – or not.
