Say Goodbye 2007

I spent the last few hours of 2007 drawing the Lost In Space robot and Dr. Smith. At midnight I could hear all the noise and celebrating outside. It scared Sarah's cat Spooky. But our dog Monty didn't seem to care.

The first picture I did in early December.

Now I wait to see what 2008 will bring. I don't want to be a fatalist. But one must realize that the economy is not ok. And the web bots paint a dire picture. I get solace in painting, drawing, and creating watercolor pictures.

The Day After Christmas

Just was looking through some old artwork. I haven't been doing much lately, because I have been sewing too much.

I wish I was, here someplace warm. This is rather old artwork for me. But it is rather how I feel at the moment. It is more like a wish I have, just to be someplace on a beach.

More Time to Blog

When I am off work I get to sleep in. I wish I could do that all the time. I am in desperate need of sleep. But I can barely get more that 7 hours.

I went Christmas shopping today. I was at Target and there was hardly anyone there. I found some things for Sarah.

The artwork is my Holloween horse. Now I have got to have a Christmas horse. There is a saddle shop here in Napa. I saw their Christmas ornaments, Christmas horses. I don't have much money to spend.

Christmas Vacation Has Just Begun

Its Christmas time again. I have been feeling like rain, and have been wishing it would rain. And I got my wish. It is raining outside now. I would have gone on a walk tonight, if I wasn't so sick. I caught a cold, and I can't hear very well out of my left ear. Here is some recent artwork.

I've been sitting on the couch. I was making an felt ornament for our Christmas tree while watching the movie "The Misfits." It is a movie only make me love horses more.

Thanksgiving

I've been taking pictures with my camera of Lost in Space. I guess this is what is called a screen grab.

I have drawn Johnathan Harris dozens of times. He is my favorite Lost in Space character, then Penny and the robot.

I always like to get a picture like this one.

And this is my mom up in Angwin.

I for one am truely thankful. Just to be alive is good. Having my mother still around is good too. She turned 89 in June. I also am glad to have my daughter, Sarah, and my three cats and one dog. Also, I am grateful to have a job. Having been diagnosed with kidney cancer this last year then having the kidney removed was not fun. I had to take a bunch of time off from work. Even when I went back it was hard to lift children and do my normal duties. Now it is almost eight months later. Since then I am trying to do more of the things that I enjoy, those things being art and sewing. I started this blog on a whim, after viewing Angela Cartwright's wonderful blog. I have long wanted to make my own website but have been way too busy to do it. This blog is kind of a substitute for that.

Drawing Lost in Space

I enjoy drawing immensely. Here are a few of my drawings inspired by Lost in Space. Not too bad considering that creating art has been something I haven't always been working at. My life is just too busy. I was never really good at faces. But I keep trying anyway. Dad does't look a thing like Guy Williams. Maybe on my next try he will look better. I love drawing that robot!! He really is my favorite character. Then Penny and Smith are my next favorite.

A Horse of a Different Color

I was just trying out the photoshop program I have. I now have a red horse. I thought I would just change the color of my yellow horse. I would like it to be brown.

It was quite a day at school. Many of the kids were dressed in their Halloween costumes.
