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 #152 - Kali

I reluctantly did some plein air but due to not having time, after 5 minutes I wrapped up, took a photo, and finished the work at home. It was okay; I managed to save it I feel (though I don't like working from photos). The highlight is that I tried to do some "color lifting".

Then I picked up my iPad and started doodling; I was far from yesterday's beast performance, but I managed to put my disappointment aside, and just enjoy these awkward and imperfect doodles. However, it was highly creative, in a different way than yesterday. I also noticed that while I watching a talk between Loish and another artist, I would catch glimpses from their artwork and grab some details; an eye, some feathers, a necklace, a shape and this would give me a stimulus for the next thing to start. This was so fun! I wonder if I could have monitors play random pinterest images for 5sec or so and wheneven I need some push, look in that direction! Sounds very creative and playful! I also did a little practice on ellipses. Time for bed.
