This space is reserved for a sketch of our feral feline forest creature "Annie-bug" who passed away yesterday, after being a beloved presence on our porch for 12 years.

Everyday Matters Challenge #193: Draw a Close-up Part of Something (the inside of a TV)


Several months ago, my wife and I were sitting in the kitchen getting ready for dinner. It was raining pretty hard. A bolt of lightning hit something right outside our house. The bowl of peanuts I was so calmly eating flew into the air as I involuntarily catapulted out of my chair.
After we got over the shock (and relief that our house wasn't on fire), we assessed the actual damage. Among the casualties was this small TV.

I took the back of it off hoping to see something obvious to fix, but there was nothing. After it sat around for awhile, I got intrigued by all the spots of color and form, so...I pulled one last picture from this dead TV before it was taken to the recycling center.
