I make no pretense that I am anything other than a voluptous, curvaceous,rubenesque woman. I am no barbie doll, no size 8 with perfect plastic breasts, no pinup glamour princess. I am woman, all woman… I have borne and lost children and had and lost friends,lovers,partners and family.
I wear my scars and my age with dignity and respect. I am who I am. I will grow older and sag more, my wrinkles will line my skin and my body will lose its tone and muscle… so be it. This is who we are – human beings living and ageing and dying and loving and experiencing this wondrous gift called life…

the lines on my face are the roadmap of my life
the little extra bulge round the middle testament to my learning to enjoy the finer things of life
women are beautiful wondrous creatures, from the moment they are born through the sweetness of childhood and the blossoming into young ladies, through the wonders of pregnancy and motherhood repeating the cycle,
on into age and wisdom, to be passed on to the younger generation,
heading on towards venerablility,
with the roadmap of their lives on their face,
teaching us that follow on behind, that there is so much to life,
beyond the surface.
although I have to say that from where I’m sitting,
the surface looks pretty damn good here

these are amazing. how did you do this? i wanna try it.
awdigitaldreams replied
okies darl – you take the shot in colour, convert to b&w using photoediting software (I use GIMP coz its free and its excellent) and then saturate into the blue spectrum to where you like the colour. then, adjust contrast and midtones… and then, take a photo of the full moon in clouds and position it in the top corner (again software edit lol) and phase in… voila! btw – thats about 5 hrs work LOL:) Glad you like it:) xoxox

This is so cool that you can show us the moon without actually mooning us. A face-to-face with two heavenly bodies (no pun) in a contemplation of self/self (not other, I see no difference between natures), a landscape of blanket, one cloud-halo, one halo beyond the easily fooled eye. Although I see the visual beauty, your art always gives me more sensation than mere (in my case) sight. Thank you for this gift.
awdigitaldreams replied
