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 #127 - Challenged

The dreaded day of years has finally come: My computer has crashed; the primary hard-drive failed and I'm suddenly with no computer. I've been more calm than expected. I did my sketching, and finished up cleaning up the photos on my 300$ iPad. It's been a challenge.  It took me more than an hour to send and crop the images. I hope I will streamline it in the following weeks but will never get it down to the few seconds that it would take me on my imac. Anyway. What do I like about today's work? Well it's been bold and colorful! The first piece, started as a lame test of greens but by the end of it I had an intriguing alien landscape and a beautiful palette. I like the spikey shapes, the white,  and the wet-on-wet approach. 
The second piece is an even bolder one. I like te colors, the line, the existence of the black and the existence of depth. I don't know what it depicts, but whatever.

Overall today I'm happy that I didn't freak out too much with the computer, and the two pieces have been different from what I normally would do; quite liberal, exploratory but also successful!

Time for bed.
