Another 70's childhood toy drawing

Ok I've finished another piece from the series "70's childhood toys"  Mrs. Beasley.  I can't decide if my drawing is bad or if she is just ugly.  At any rate...if you LOVED Mrs. Beasley as a child, the way my sister and I did, you will appreciate this drawing.

7x10 Oil Pastel "Mrs. Beasley"

The original is for sale for $20 and the prints for $10, 20% of which is donated to an Animal Charity of your choice.

Nikon D5000 - Manual settings

Wow!  I am finally able to use Nikon Manual setting on the fly and adjust Shutter, Aperture and ISO fast enough to get the pic!  I suspected I was missing something, but was relatively clueless.  Here are a couple of my favs from yesterday evening.

70's vintage toys drawing

I have the urge to create ART from 70's toys that I had.  Here's my first attempt. I had this cute little baby doll. :)  She was my fav, cuz she had a squishy body. :)  Anyone remember her?

Thanks to Yoga, I still have my teeth!

So, we had to put a small fence to block our old dog Gus off, from the pool.  Gus fell in the pool 2 times last year, both time he had to swim for 20mins to an hour.  One of the times the water was very cold, and he was reaching hypothermic levels. 
So I chose this dark green fence....whY, you ask?  So it would be harder to see.  :|   Hingsight is truly 20/20.  Not even 24 hours after putting up the fence, at nightfall, I decided to dart out the back door, FORGOT totally about the fence...COULD NOT SEE IT, in the dark and before I knew it, I went from speedy upright stride to a full on push up, with my face MILLIMETERS from the ground.  If it hadn't been for those yoga push ups, I would be lookin' like a 7 year old right now. :|  Catching myself was almost effortless, and I escaped ALMOST unscathed...but when you flip in the air, and land in a push up all HIP HOP dancing style...the muscles revolt.  ow.  My hands landed in some gravel...but miraculously not a single scrape. :)  The fence did not fair so well.   The white flags are so my MOTHER doesn't end up in the hospital :)

Too bad for Chance, he cannot play his "throw the ball in the pool and then fish it out" game 50 times per day. :(

MS Walk Team member

My special boy Jack, was a registered member of Karen's MS Walk team a few weeks back.   This was his second year walking!  The weather was cold and rainy, so the events were held inside the St. Charles County Community College.  We were so sad to find upon entering the event, "dogs" were not allowed in the building, per the SCC Security guard.  We sat within the double doors for a while watching other dogs walk in and get chased out by the guard.  I understand the school has rules, but PUH-LEASE, I mean HE WAS A REGISTERED TEAM MEMBER! :)  a CLEAR example of species discrimination.  I wonder if I had brought a chimpanze with me, if it would have been able to enter the building. There was neither a sign that stated "no dogs allowed" nor one that stated "humans only".  This sounds like "on the fly" rule creation.  Don't worry, Jack snuck in to get his picture taken with the team. BAH-HA-HA ha-ha. :) 

He also was a winner winner of a chicken dinner!  Here he is salvating over a piece of it. :)
