Inspired by the art of Artemisia Gentileschi and a detail of this
Ever since Art History classes, I've be enamored by her art and the story of her life. It was a brutal life that played out in a court drama for which records have been preserved for over 400 years. Read about her and you will find a story of the strength of a woman in an age in which women had no place in the art community. She was a pioneer and a survivor of brutality. She was a modern woman in an archaic age.
Lunar, dearest little pretty boy,
rest and play in peace ...
now you are in the blessed palace
away from hurt or sadness
blooming flowers and green grasses around you...
meeting friends and relatives from near and far...
playing and singing happily
there in heaven you rest little Lunar
down on earth mommy and pappy mourn for you
and all your friends who loves you
and will never ever forgets you
up in the sky you will see through..
down to earth to those who loves you...
wave your paws and pass your kisses
for us to receive and keep within
up on the moon you will sit
because you, Lunar... belongs where you begins
from heaven you transit
down to earth for a long visit
with your loving parent who babysits
you grow up to be a very pretty boy
and gave them love and charm and love many many more
receiving love and sharing it
now you were gone but not forgotten
for your visit here on earth brings more than we ever thought....
Lunar, Lunar... your're in heaven
looking down to earth and say
"pwease don't cry dear mommy and pappy
I'm safe and happy with all my friends
only one thing I want to say
treasure my visit until the end of the day..... "
Love,
Aunty Warda, Milo, Horlicks, Cappuccino, Mocha (and 2 babies)

On our second day in Vail we decided to hike to the top of Vail Mountain. As we got closer the clouds began getting thicker and thicker and lower and lower. The view of the mountains in the background touching the clouds was a very cool scene. With the clouds rolling in the chill began to race through you at 12,000 feet. So to capture this chill I appplied a cooling filter along with my HDR technique to the photo to recreate the cold chill on top of the mountain. It will only be a matter of weeks until the first snow falls and covers these mountains.
