This is Bruce with his daughter Katelin, waiting for the guests to arrive for Katelin's birthday party. He is clearly aware of the eyes upon him - but Katelin is in her own little birthday world - tasting the icing on the cake with her eyes, opening the pretty paper gifts in her mind. I was fascinated with the play between light and shadow. This piece won an honorable mention at the Wisconsin Regional Art Association exhibit in Whitewater in June 2005.
