day #97 - Insomniac delights!

Let's see if today I make it to watch a movie! The day started with an early insomniac interruption (clearly anxiety-related) that I decided to make use of and paint something freely (and free from thought) with my left (non-dominant) hand. It turned out beautiful! It started very automatic though as it started become something, I switched over to decision-making; but nonetheless, even like that it was a beautiful thing. The jitter of my left-hand created characters; at the same time, I haven't been more excited with my color-mixing abilities, I kept and kept doing the right choice (I think I've only undone 3 tops 4 strokes). It's obvious that I started recreating in a sense the sloppy watercolor from yesterday (that I copied from the first page of google image results) but the scene was much more alive, and the colors... And the composition too, is probably among the best I've done!
The second painting (or drawing? after all it's all mere lines - the classic pastels debate) was done with the right hand, again trying to start an automatic drawing. This one stayed automatic for much longer and in part I'm again excited by the colors and the forms, but at the same time, there is something incomplete. Perhaps the background is too empty. It looked much better in the dark.
The postures/gestures are of the same level as always. I feel I've reached a place where the gestures capture the essence of the posture, the weight, the interaction with the underlying surfaces (chair,wall) they look real compared to the stiff ones that I did in the beginning.
Time for me to go process some feelings from the day and watch a movie (if I have the time).
