Lost in Space Drawings

Here are some of my drawings of Lost in Space characters. The first is suppose to be Judy Robinson. The second Will Robinson and Maureen Robinson, then Maureen Robinson and the robot. These pictures are fun to do. I wish I had more time to do them. I usually do them late at night when I should be going to bed, thereby missing much needed sleep. But then if I don't do some sort of art in a given day, then I feel like the day is a waste.

Fairyland in Angwin

Rain rules! It looks like fairyland in Angwin again. That is Sarah and Monty, and then me and Monty. We keep trading him off between ourselves. In the picture of Sarah we had just spotted fellow walker, April going the other way with her dog Adel. We get to see them about once a month on the trails. When it rains like this most people won't venture into the woods. We got a little wet, but not bad. It is so quiet in the woods on wet days.

The lighthouse picture I did a couple of months ago. For a while that is all I ever did was lighthouse pictures.

Golden Moments

We drive to Angwin, usually about twice a week. There we take walks around the trails of Pacific Union College Property. I think of those moments we spend on our walks as Golden Moments. Pacific Union College boarders on Los Posadas State Forest. Much of the area is truly a bueatiful place. But I worry that it won't stay so bueatiful. I they have their way they will put in an "Eco-Villiage" with 380 new homes up in Angwin. It will spoil the quiet and gentleness of the community. I lived in Angwin for close to 17 years. So I am not a stranger to the community. I lived in both the dorm - Winning Hall on the campus of Pacific Union College, and out in two different apartments, off campus. Angwin is really a unique place. On Valentines Day it will be 7 years since we moved from Angwin down to Napa to my mom's. I dream often of the Tobin Avenue apartment we used to live in.

Rain, Rain Go Away, Come Again Some Other Day

It has been raining almost every day for the last two weeks. I am really getting a bit tired of it. Besides too much work, I have been wearing myself out. Our washing machine broke, I caught the cold that every one else has had in the classroom, it is the second cold in the last two months. This wouldn't happen if the parents would keep their sick kids home. I feel obligated to work because they won't send a sub for me. I am only an aide. I comfort myself by drawing Lost in Space pictures.

The Jupiter 2

I wanted to do the Lost in Space Jupiter 2 on the ground in a landing/crash site. Instead as I was drawing and doing the color it morphed. Now it looks about to land. So that stuff in the picture is suppose to be dust and debris. Also there are creatures watching.

The Global Markets versus Those Lost In Space Dreams

It is so depressing. The Markets worldwide are falling, and all I want to do is draw Lost in Space pictures. I don't get it. I should be doing those preparations. And somehow getting ready to move out of this place. I know I won't be here forever, living here with my mom. Yet, I can't get myself in gear. I would rather draw or do watercolor, or even sew and read. But then I am so tired all the time.

Working with Tempera, and Watercolor

I get to take a boy named Eric to art class three days a week. While there I get to have fun interacting with him and the teacher and the other students in this "mainstreamed" class. This last week I actually had some moments where I was able to do my own little art work while sitting there next to Eric. The entire class was working on color theory, and the mixing of colors. They had three colors only, of tempera, and were mixing their own secondary and tertiary colors. Here is my Lost in Space robot picture which I did using the three colors of tempera. Finished it in about 15 - 20 minutes during the class period. Also is a horse I did the other day, at home, in acrylic and watercolor. The robot picture was done without a picture or a model to paint from. So I suppose he looks very primitive. At least I remembered his arms!
