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 #205 - Not the leaps of the frog...

 


Another day of little sleep. I feel tired. I was up early however, so I decided to fit both a walk and painting within the same day. Eventually I didn't paint as much as I had hoped I would since my back was tired from walking but it's nice that I did both. 
I worked a bit more on the "Alien Frog", trying to block out the background which was mainly empty but I'm not sure with pastels there is the opportunity for a second pass. Anyway, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I expect to finish the piece. My ordered materials have not shipped yet so the next piece will also be small, and ..white.
Anyway, let's focus on the bright side too - so what good did I enjoy today? Of course the sun - but painting-wise, mixing some greens from blues and yellows, being okay to put my pastels down and call it a day early (without feeling guilty about it) and working on a piece that doesn't feel precious so I can play with it more!
