Trying to learn...this is just the fourth project I've done

I did watercolour club at Northside Library today, and I think I did rather well up to a point. It was a white horse. I did pretty well up to the horse's muzzle and eye, and while I knew what I needed to do, I just didn't have a steady hand to do the eye right or get the definition of the muzzle right, to be honest. I have essential tremor in my hands, so it might have been a factor. I'd like to try again when I'm not time-constrained and see if I can do better, though. Here is my art compared to the reference work and photo.

My goal for this year is 36 books. I got behind over the summer, so I'm only at 61%. I need to step up my game. I've got one I'm about a third of the way through but I don't know if I'll finish it; it's rather slowly-paced, plus three I'd like to go ahead and read or re-read that are fiction, and one non-fiction guide.

So, here those are:

1. What the River Knows by Isabel Ibañez (this is the slow one)

2. Flying Too High by Kerry Greenwood

3. Re-reading Storm Front by Jim Butcher

4. Re-reading The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross

and also a non-fiction one:

5. Knee Replacement Surgery: A Patient's Guide Before, During, & After by  Chris Easton
