Two More Books To Add

Even though I won't make my goal of 30 books, I have been reading a greatlately.  I have taken a break from working on my art work.  I haven't had opportunity to due much reading unless it was related to art or creativity.  One of the good things about working at Barnes & Noble is the unlimited access to books.   I am able to read some books for free, others at a great discount.  So I want to read a great deal while I have the chance.

More Reading

We are half way through April.  That being written...I know that I will not be completing my reading goal as I read rather quickly but there is no way that I will be able to reach by goal of 30 books in three months.  Due to my art projects I have only been able to read 12 thus far.  Needless to say I won't be reading more than 15 books in 2 weeks. Not until I finish reading my other two books, Evelyn Woods Speed Reading and Speed Reading the Easy Way.  (Yes, I actually do have the books but they are more like workbooks.  You have to set time aside and work at this skill.  Which, of course, I have not done yet!)

Reading List Update

Due to the art work I have been doing, I haven't read nearly as much as I had been during the fall.  That doesn't really bother me.  As long as I am accomplishing something I am happy.

Project 20



 Parameters: Use something from nature to inspire your work.  I am trying to learn how to use watercolors.  Being am not very good, can anyone out there guess what I have done?  Yup, that's right.  I went to the library and took out books on painting with watercolors.  What else would I do?  The day that I die, I would be very surprised if I am NOT found with a glass of ice tea in one hand and a book in the other.

Project 19

Using watercolors for the very first time.

Project 18

From *Caffeine for the Creative Mind,* the directions were to take pictures of barriers. They can be either physical barriers or those that we create mentally. I know that I use many things create mentally barriers, so that is the theme I have chosen.  I created a slide show however I has the worst time getting it to post.   I had to redo it with a different program.  Let's hope this one posts!
