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 #135 - Devolution!

It came to me as a shock seeing some work of mine from 20 years ago while I was 10-12 years old. Work that if I had seen some adult do, I'd be outright jealous, things I'm struggling to do now, but can't. What happened to me? How is this possible? I feel shock (that I've stooped so low) and hope (that perhaps if I unblock myself I might regain that level). I got home late, and did a beast out of strokes; I like the strokes, they remind me arab script, or ideograms. The beast reminds me a lot one I did on the 19th of June but then again it's the laziest and coarsest beast design that can come out of my brush. I liked mixing the colors and keeping the palette somewhat tight around values of purple, red and yellow and only a hint of green and blue. While I don't like particularly the end results, I like the constraint. As for the art from 20 years ago, I like that one so much more that I can't even compare it.
