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 #168 - Flow

I skipped going to the studio today since it war raining and was too dark to work. Yet I escaped the compulsion to work on the ipad (and do some character sketching) and instead did some soul-nurturing watercolors. After spending some time with pastels and acrylics on big canvases, it feels so easy and mess-free to open my watercolors kit and then wash my paintbrush.

I'm happy in three different ways today; for a start I went for the more tactile and physical medium; I needed the grounding after spending time on zoom calls and on VR. Secondly I enjoyed the process a lot and the end results while not perfect - is an unafraid experiment of different ideas. Come to think I had always been doing that; every painting has been an experiment, they even start with no idea, palette or technique. Kudos to me for that! But today I am more aware and celebrating this aspect of it much more.
