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 #34 - Portraits of Obsessiveness

Tough day. I got off bed with insomnia and frustration. I was too frustrated to paint but then I did it. It was cathartic. I did 9 digital sketches, I felt them very expressive as if writing a diary. They each reflect an aspect of myself; they feel like me. With the exception of one that feels particularly essenceless. Felt nice doing them. Then I also had the added bonus that I had painted for the day, something I had forgotten until some minutes ago. I'm so glad I don't have to, it's been a difficult day.

Today's been one of the days where my obsessiveness really hit the ceiling. It was going to be a good day, that I'd be relax only work a little, and suddenly it turned nightmarish. I just couldn't get of the computer and go do something else. I was feeling the compulsion to finish something that couldn't be finished in one day where I clearly needed rest. I just stopped only because I had a breakthrough of progress and a big part of the uncertainty left me allowing me to wrap up for the day. I dread tomorrow, because it's everytime the same open-ended tasks that same sense of time-pressure... Anyway. Today I like everything about the sketches and nothing about myself.
