Therapy (Series entitled: Consequently, me)

Another turn in my photography/art.  This piece is inspired by several of my flickr friends.  I really wanted to try my hand at some manipulative photography.  This was my first try and I have much more in mind, but it was eating at me to get something done, and I was the only "model" at the time.  I hate having my picture taken, so I really thought of this as therapy in that way (hince the name).  The plan is to do a series entitled "Consequently, me", which will tell my story defining me and my life's path.  In that right, the title of this piece (Therapy) stands true, as it still defines me in that I have, at times, resorted to my dream state to escape my reality.  When surrounded by unhappy or unsatisfying circumstances, which I don't feel I can escape in actuality, I create my perfect world in my fantasies.  Maybe you can relate?

I have plans to do other series as well, so I may flip-flop between them, but you have to go where the heart leads, right.

Both Drew and Wolfie were such good sports letting mommy practice portrait shots, but they are such beautiful models too.

It was such a wonderful weekend with my babies.  It's highlight would have to be teaching Drew to ride her bike without the training wheels.  It exhausted me but I'm not sure who was more excited and proud with her accomplishment, me or her.  And now, she can't be stopped.  Although, I counted five wardrobe changes because she kept riding her bike through the water puddles, but don't even try to keep her out of the water.

This weekend I worked on a canvas painting...uh... IF it can be called that yet.  I have been staring at this white canvas for at least a month now and I was itching to get some paint splashed on it, but after several attempts now, I got nothing.  Is this artist's block?  I've got an idea of what I want to do, but I haven't got an end result yet.  It's my first painting in... I don't know how long, so I've got all this pressure built up that I want this one to be SO fantastic.  Something cool.  Something both guys AND gals would enjoy.  Something I would place on my own wall.  Obviously, I'm going to need to sketch this one out first.  Until then, more photography. 

The above shots were taken at least a year ago.  I had played around with it for a while and revisited it recently, hence this.
