2026 Monthly Goal Results - March and April

Tweet

Continuing to play catch-up in reporting my monthly goal results, March saw a slight digression from the pattern of reading two books and finishing one art project. By the end of the month, I had finished reading only one book, Body of Evidence, a mystery/thriller by Patricia Cornwell (you will see a lot more from her this year as I read through her Scarpetta series), but I compensated by finishing two art projects, both of which were collaged cards. I think I have already published pictures of the cards before because I wrote about them when I completed them...I think? I know I did the first one. Let me check... Oh my goodness. I went back to look at my discussions to see if I had posted the second card and realized that I ALREADY made a post about my monthly goals back in March. Oops! At the time, I posted January through March goals, which...I have done again, so sorry about that. D'oh! However, apparently I dropped the thread and forgot to make further posts, even though I have actually kept up with it. So let's go ahead and do April, then, since you've seen my art for March. In April, I did read two books, Spine by Jud Fine and Harry Reese, and The Body Farm by Patricia Cornwell (see?). The art project I finished was the pastel picture of a flooded Miami in the future, after global warming causes sea levels to rise. I did post a picture of that at the time, and then another one when it was matted, but here is a picture of the project in a much earlier form than you've seen. At this point, the pencil sketch is finished, and I am laying in the base colors. You can still see the pencil. Sorry about the redundant posts, guys. I'm getting pretty flaky in my old age, lol
