day #365 - the end of an era

Image
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 #196 - Emerging from the Caverns

What a day! Well probably I'm excited for reasons other than painting, but painting was good too. I resumed the latest artwork that is starting to gain form; I might experiment with it by fixating the first layer and adding extra details on a second layer. I like how I spend time adding reflections in these caverns. I've just created an underground pool and all in all, these caverns seem like a magical place.
To me it's very obvious that both this, the Ruins, the pastel Flowers that I did a while ago (and numerous artworks tracing back to the 90s) are about the unconscious and all the mysterious, perhaps scare but apparently beautiful world. It's also about the descent to the underworld and the re-emergence. In any case, I like it a lot today since the stress from last time was gone and I could focus on being in this world. Unfortunately this work is very dark (meaning hard to see) and the sun goes down quite early giving me less than one hour of clear sight to work it. To sum up, very creative and aweinspiring, I was into the world, exploring it which is pretty much what I want to be doing with my art!
Later on I was full with emotion and decided to do an ink drawing in my cheap notebook to get the itch off. I enjoyed exercising line control and despite starting with a 45degrees angled form I managed to turn it around. I hope at some point I'm over this silliness.
Time for bed.
