"Tired Feet"

I first entered this piece into Art-Works--in March. It got in, but no award. Back then, I had named it "Faith-n-Dreams." Paula Demmert of Art Works told me, "I didn't notice the feet until later." That was when I named it "Tired Feet" and entered it into the Petersburg Regional Art Center's juried show. It won second place.

This was my first completed piece, taken from a photograph I took in December. The sun shone through that window "just so" for about two minutes and I was lucky enough to capture it. It was also lucky that the woman had taken off her shoes. Capturing the sleeping child was not a matter of luck. He slept through the whole service, something I have not seen since.
