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 #203 - The Sphynx that cried wolf (or maybe avocato)

Today has been a stressful and packed day and the sun sinking didn't help in aleviating this stress. I photographed and fixated the last piece (which I have to accept that is this tough to swallow end result) and with the remaining 30mins until sunset I did a quick piece on a smaller piece of paper that was probably lying around somewhere between eighteen and thirty years. No jokes.
It was a good decision after all (I had run out of paper anyways) since I got the chance to play a bit with a less precious and more study-like piece and had something ready in less than an hour. I next plan on trying some blending on it, like I've seen people do on youtube. While the paper was thin and had no tooth, it still felt nice working with.
The takeaway for today is that despite the stresses, I've managed for now to have built an anchor around my creative practice, which I'm very glad of.
I wasn't ready to go to bed; I felt there was some artistic urge still unresolved for the day so I started a character posing sketch. I'm satisfied with it. Though it's not very fleshed out, there is a narrative through the bodies. Time for bed.
