Macaroni’s first time at a beach at Rigby Lake in Idaho! He had a blast frapping around in the sand and wading in the water. He was not to keen on swimming.

This is Shep — he’s 19 years old and sound asleep as he’s being cradled in his father John’s arms as they go for their daily swim in Lake Superior.

Shep was rescued by John as an 8 month old pup and now, as a senior dog, he falls asleep every night when he’s carried into the lake this way.

The buoyancy of the water soothes his arthritic bones and Lake Superior is very warm right now, so the temp of the water is perfect for them.

This is the kind of love and devotion that every dog deserves from its human guardian.  [from BillinExile ; thanks also to several Facebook friends]

Gestural Abstraction- My Latest Make-up Work Published! The Inspiration behind the look for MindGame magazine Issue 1…

This look was created in five stages for MindGame Magazine’s where I am beauty editor for, and this look was specifically created for the beauty section in Issue 1 by myself and shot by Ryan Handy. Gestural Abstraction is about the art of make-up and not all about the technique I applied in this look. You can develop excellent manual skills to create sophisticated make-up designs. However, the magic of this look is cast by colour and vigorous application! You need to acquire a feel for colour to become a versatile make-up artist- a true master of colour and this is what I wanted demonstrate in Gestural Abstraction.

The style I created is where I built the look up with liberally splashed paints onto the model in a random manner, and the beauty of seeing this look you can see how a true artist builds up to a desired look- ‘Gestural Abstraction’.
