It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (January 14): 01/14/19

Hosted by Kathryn of Book Date.

With the kids back in school, I'm painting again. I finished my seascape, based on a photograph I took at Rockaway Beach a fear years ago.

Now I am working on the salt flats that parallel I80 in western Utah. This painting is based on a photo I took either in 2016 or 2017 during a road trip.

I'm also taking part in the sketchbook project at the Brooklyn Art Library. I just got my blank book and it's due back at the end of March. I'm calling my book "A turkey is like a T-Rex." I'll post updates as I have them. Right now I'm storyboarding my pages.

Tuesday's almost over and I haven't finished a single book yet. I'm a little frustrated but the book I'm reading is really good. I've just been busy doing other things like painting, writing, running errands and that sort of thing.

The whole series is fun if you're looking for some paranormal romances as graphic novels.
