The annual birthday celebration and other events of note usually called for a special cake, often store bought. I was as enamored of their beauty then, as of the decadent indulgence. For all that they represent, a celebratory marker of joy and moment, sometimes other truths lie at the edges. Perhaps a cultural pretension, cakes and ceremony work for some, not all; but allow all the pretense of happiness and belonging, for awhile. </p> <div> <b>Additional Information</b><br /> Photograph<br/> Completed in: 2006<br/> 8 x 10 inches<br/> Near or in Hamden, CT / United States </div> http://www.fineartadoption.net/artworks/show/1343 2009-11-10T15:53:06Z FAANbot

This triptych takes me to that beautiful feeling of the never ending power of that sky. The figures are solid but sort of carefree at the same time.
