Easy Rider

My friend Judah asked if we could trade photoshoots with each other. He wanted some cool black & white photos with his motorcycle and I've been wanting some new & fun photos of just me & Ben. So last week during one of the nicer weather days (it rained practically the entire month of October) we headed out to get a few awesome shots. I used some texture overlays in a few. I thought they really pulled off the bad@$$ look we were going for! James Dean watch out there's a new cool guy on the block!

it strikes again...

well the unthinkable has happened.  my husband very suddenly was struck ill with this nasty flu/virus that's going around.  he literally was fine one minute and then ill the next.  i hope this doesn't mean that the rest of us are next.  what a nightmare that will be!  i really don't want my 8 mo old to catch it.  aahhhh!

it's been a busy week.  i finished up a black & white monochrome piece (picture at bottom) as well as began working on two custom orders.  one that's all about sports and another that's color scheme reminded me of valentines day! =P  in addition i spent a couple days editing photos from a family photoshoot i shot on sunday.  i have been a busy little beaver.

the following are a few of my 365 photos.  

straight off the camera...yeah i was impressed too! =)

just a small part of my BIL motorcycle.

a chain link fence with urban acid wash action.

my son, "Mary Poppins"!  =D

a bit of selective color on this pic of M holding a silk Gerber daisy.

Ava enjoying the outdoors and also chewing on the wood of the fort!  we've been enjoying very mild if not warm weather here in Texas.  bring on spring!!!  =)  

the black & white monochrome piece...i like the foil accents, really makes it pop!
well it appears that my valentine's day will be spent tending to my sick hubby, if not sick myself.  now that's love right there!  =)  i hope everyone has a spectacular weekend.  don't forget to say "I LOVE YOU!" to those you care about!

so much to do, where to start?

so earlier this week i got 3 custom orders totaling 7 pieces to work on.  i'm stunned and excited and overwhelmed!  LOL!  i'm really happy with how this whole etsy store thing has taken off and with so very little promotion.  and i'm doing something i enjoy while making money & keeping busy.  that's always good.  

finished up this piece Wednesday.  it's like Lemons & Limes.  or a sunrise over a green meadow...or whatever you want to see it as i suppose.  i guess that's the whole point of abstract art.  LOL!  i will be listing this as well as a few other small pieces hopefully later this weekend.

my most recent 365 photo.  there's something so photogenic about Converse shoes don't you agree?

the weather was amazing here yesterday.  and for someone (me & my family) who's wishing for spring to hurry up and get here, we got a taste yesterday.  and today is suppose to be just as amazing with highs in the mid 70s and pure sunshine all day.  yesterday we took advantage of the weather and got outside.  the kids enjoyed scribbling with sidewalk chalk and the littlest munchkin enjoyed taking a stroll in her stroller!

well housework & motherhood is calling my name.  hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
