It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (March 04): 03/04/19
I finished the Davis painting. I'm not entirely satisfied with it but it's as good as I can do now.
I also started the first of the climate change paintings. It's my first time using gouache but I felt it was the best medium for the series.
Last week I read seven books, but the three last ones were really short and I read them over the weekend. On the Come Up by Angie Thomas is as good as The Hate U Give. I will be reviewing it on Saturday. What I read:
What I'm reading:
Up Soon:

Comment #2: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 14:35:00 Pussreboots They were fun reads. Comment #4: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 14:40:00 Pussreboots I think you would like the series. Comment #6: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 14:42:00 Pussreboots I will get it reviewed shortly after reading it. Comment #7: Monday, March 04, 2019 at 10:02:36 Magnificent Birds looks really good! I will have to look for it. Your paintings look great as well! I had to look up what gouache is; very cool! Have a great week! Comment #8: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 14:45:00 Pussreboots Magnificent Birds is beautiful. I got into gouache because my daughter was watching a Youtube video by an illustrator. I realized the medium would work well for my climate change project. Comment #9: Monday, March 04, 2019 at 10:29:28 Love the climate change picture...and On the Come Up looks good. Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog. Comment #10: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 14:49:00 Pussreboots Thanks. I'll be done with the second one probably in time for next week's update. On the Come Up is excellent. Comment #11: Monday, March 04, 2019 at 11:24:13 Kathy Martin I still have The Hate U Give on my Kindle. I really need to get to it soon. Come see my week here. Happy reading! Comment #12: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 14:53:00 Pussreboots You should read it. The movie is also very good. I hope On the Come Up gets a movie adaptation too. Comment #13: Monday, March 04, 2019 at 21:47:56 Wow! Your artwork is beautiful! Ghostbusters Crossover looks interesting. Comment #14: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 14:57:00 Pussreboots Thank you. The Ghostbusters comics are fun. The Crossover one, though, requires reading the previous ones. There are so many characters! Comment #15: Monday, March 04, 2019 at 22:03:31 Very nice paintings...lots of books with pretty covers. ENJOY your week, and thanks for coming by my blog. Comment #16: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 15:01:00 Pussreboots Thank you. This week's going to be a busy one. Comment #17: Monday, March 04, 2019 at 22:45:16 I had to Google Gouache. I would like to experiment more with gesso and paint for my cards as I'd like to go toward more mixed media. I'm thinking of getting some gelatos also. Comment #18: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 15:05:00 Pussreboots Before this project I've worked in oils and acrylics. I've dabbled in watercolors and colored pencils. Good luck with your projects! Comment #19: Monday, March 04, 2019 at 18:53:08 WOW! That is one heck of a photo of the moon! You captured it perfectly. Did you use a special camera? Comment #20: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 15:08:00 Pussreboots I used my Olympus EPL-8 with a M.75-300mm F4.8-6.7 II lens. ISO 800. f8.0 and shutter speed 1/400. Manual focus. It's not a special camera — a midrange mirrorless camera. Comment #21: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 07:27:43 I think the Davis painting is beautiful. Enjoy your books and have a great week! Comment #22: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 15:16:00 Pussreboots Thank you. Comment #23: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 16:44:40 I'm so glad to hear that Angie Thomas' second book is as good as the first. I will be looking for that one soon. I also like the covers of Bob and Magnificent Birds. I shall also look for them. Comment #24: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 15:18:00 Pussreboots The two bird books are very good. Comment #25: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 17:08:55 Hey, long time since I visited, I see you are still reading like crazy! Comment #26: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 at 15:20:00 Pussreboots It doesn't feel like a crazy pace to me. I do have other things I do. I work. I make art. Housework. Errands. Photography.
