I was working on my concept for the new pages of my bio. The figures will be under an arbor of ivy leaves and roses with candles surrounding them. Fitting for the night it was. I put this image together as a card for my wife. This is to replace the one I bought. The poem she liked, it summed up 12 years.I placed the first sketch in the background to represent the beginning (unknown) and the more shaded to represent how we have grown and changed over the last 19 years we have known each other (through friendship,dating, and marriage). I spent some time thinking about what I wanted, where I was, and where I wanted to be come mornings light. I wanted those wonderful feelings to return. The zoom version is after I worked on the shading alittle. Need to place candles and background for adjustments of light. I do my pictures in layers so that I can place them and resize for better visual concept. I'm looking to line the inside cover of my bio with a colleage of pictures that make up my life. For now I focus on my 10th & 12th anniversary. The best one and the return of hopes and dreams.
