As a child candy corn was my favorite candy, I especially liked the ones that looked like pumpkins.... sadly the grown up me is a type II diabetic and can't have candy corn anymore... but I can draw some :-)

Woo Hoo my scooter is fixed! I've really missed riding my scooter... took it on a test ride to the gas station and the grocery store tonight... it's running just fine.

It's been a long day, the shoot tonight took a lot longer than I expected... but it was for a good cause.

I really admire Anne Watkins style, this is my pitiful attempt to do a similar painting... It's a technique that is way harder to do than it looks...

Raining started as I was driving home from work... gotta figure a way to cover my painting so it won't get wet walking into class... hum? Garbage bag I guess will work.

I'm taking a watercolor class on Tuesday nights, this is our first project, and I think I'm done with it ... will take it to class tomorrow and see if the instructor wants to tweek it some more.

Two hours in the court room last week, I spent drawing sketches of some of the police officers and lawyers there... this fellow was drawn from memory of those square jawed young officers.

I lost the link to the photo of this pumpkin... I thought it was so clever I tried to draw/paint it... Another day of laundry, chores and shopping... but finally everything is washed and the final load is in the dryer.
Hockey update, the coach DID swap goalies, and we pulled off a win... this goalie was much better in my opinion... it's early in the season yet... maybe the other fellow will learn.

Worked on my boat painting a little... between loads of laundry and trips to the store. Now we're off to the hockey game... hope the goalie does a better job tonight (or the coach lets the other goalie play).

Home made pizza for dinner, and a relaxing evening at home... We missed the opening home game last weekend, so tomorrow is the first hockey game for us... I'm looking forward to hockey season... I do enjoy the game. I'm really proud of my Grand-daughter Ashton who plays hockey.

I haven't had a bit of rest since we got back from Kentucky... today I had to go to court for several hours, then the shooting match this evening... which I totally blew by not loading my magazines with the correct number of bullets.. a really stupid mistake. Tomorrow will be the first evening that I'm home this week... I'm looking forward to it.

Learned some cool techniques tonight, I have some 'home work' to do to catch up with the rest of the class. I really like this teacher she is very encouraging.

I enjoy my computer forums and sites... but after 5 days being disconnected it is amazing the pile of email I have to go thru... what did people do before email? It's hard to remember life without my electronic master.
