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 #208 - The boat and the Sardines

Today has been a full day. It sounds almost blasphemous, calling a day full given that I did no more than 4-5h of painting. Yet, I finished the last piece (did only minor alterations, fixated it, did the photoshooting and signed it), and started a new one. I like the new one. It's a yarn ball of randomness; a viking ship that turns into a galleon, with a christmas tree, some autumn trees and in the foreground? Piles of hay, and somethings that look like standing sardines. I love this randomness. And what is more, I've adopted a more impressionistic approach which I like a lot, how it renders the dynamic wheat fields!
Later I did a sketch with the brushpen, and spent 1-1,5h doing some posture studies. It's been a long time!
