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 #164 - another day in the fields

This is the third day working on this painting. By now, progress has become very slow; it's suddenly become precious too; I dread ruining it when changing anything in the composition. White spaces have slowly been running out and I wonder what will happen if they are completely gone. In any case, despite feeling that certain things I liked more in the original unrefined form, I'm glad it's still nice in my eyes.

I like the textures that have appeared, the fact that certain subconscious motifs remained and came out on their own during the end (eg the pine-apple); the irony doesn't escape me that this painting is a still life of fruits and vegetables, something that I completely hate and have tried to avoid in my life, and yet, it's visiting me from within!

Anyway, can't wait to finish it, so I can go on something new!
