day #365 - the end of an era

I thought I was on top of it; I had finished early and was looking for a movie to watch already 3 hours ago. And I don't know how time went by. A phonecall, some networking studying, some online shopping and here we are, already past the time for an early movie. Regardless, today is a special day. The blog is over! I finished 365 days of daily painting and recording it, whatever that means. A big part of the process I will have to keep doing mainly for myself. Perhaps taking daily photos of my work and saving it on some folder. This has provem useful many times when I trying to date a piece I've been working on. Also making a small diary of today's achievements. It's still useful. But this will be done for my eyes only. I also don't know if I will be continuing my obsessively daily painting. How would life be if I had days off? Now for example that I'm moving out and I have to daily chores that until now were completely taken care of, perhaps I'll allow my

day #31 - The big city


Today I finished early, got out for a walk and got back to do my daily drawing practice. I started working in blue colors and wasn't going to add anything else, except analogous colors but after a few layers of painting I wasn't satisfied yet. And then I started adding colors completely destroying the initial balance; now -it seems to me- that the values are completely off.

What did I like today, let's see. I liked the fact that even in such an uninteresting geometric scene, I managed to add some interesting details. I like the people sitting lazily all over the place. I liked the skyscrapper in the background before I completely killed it with the green. I like the parthenon in the back and the lanes for the flying cars. Perspective is not too off.

There isn't much narrative in this scene, but then again there's more than when I doodle so it's all good. Time for bed.
