Blinded!

This image is in response to Thursday's Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge. The TTITC theme for April 10, 2008 is "Into the Light".

The "poser" is an antique wooden model that used to belong to my grandfather who was a wonderful portrait artist. At first I just liked that it used to belong to him -- but then it developed a life of its own, and now can often be found reflecting my moods!

"Pinocchio is a fictional character that first appeared in 1883, in The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, and has since appeared in many adaptations of that story and others. Carved from a piece of pine by a woodcarver named Geppetto in a small Italian village, he was created as a wooden puppet, but dreamt of becoming a real boy."
