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.

Later on I continued the |mind's eye and clean-silhuouette" efforts on a second sheet where I did a few faces, hands and vehicles. 

At the very end I added some color to both sheet; just for the sake of reintegrating it in my life! I like that I was trying to track how the shadow are cast on the forms.

Overall, I'm happy about four things: a) that a slight measure of motivation is reentering my life, that I added some color, and that I'm playing with my stereoscopic mind's eye!
