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 #228 - Uncertain

Today's piece has been a very bold one in the sense that I tried to let loose; to the point that I feel it didn't work out. Possibly one of the worse unpalatable pieces I've done in years. Then again, I'm glad about this since it's allowing me to come to terms with this aspect of my artmaking production. So how does this kind of artwork feel? They feel like blotches on top of some other painting - there are two levels in the painting and both are disconnected; the smooth one (low frequency) one and on topo high-frequency lines. These pieces are hit or miss; until the end there is always (?) hope that it might work out and some times it does. Others it's like today.
So here we are! Now I have a piece that doesn't have some ugliness other than it's entirety and I need to somehow be okay with that. This is the long goal.
Other positive things about this artwork is that while making it I had the opportunity to work with sharp and hidden edges a lot. Perhaps some day a piece in this vain will work out.
