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.

I haven't been doing it lately much, and even when I do, I try and do it from live people and not photographs but it's good practice nonetheless.

There is nothing particularly likeable in the postures, however I feel the overall baseline of my postures  has improved. In other words, they are ok for ugly!

With this I've reached 60 days of blogging... what can I say, I feel like the guy on a speeding train that needs to make to jump but doesn't know when!
