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

I'm nearing the end of this piece. After all these days working small watercolors or on my iPad I can feel the excitement of working big again! A few days ago I wanted to go the extra mile with this piece, but now I don't feel like doing that. I don't know perhpas tomorrow I will. The good news is that now I can have multiple pieces in progress since I have bought myself 3 wooden slabs.
The highlights of the day way mostly about remembering: Remembering that it's nice working bigger, that pastels are cool, getting some inspiration for some future acrylics piece and remembering that when I work too constrained (perspective, anatomy, small, precision materials such as gouache) then I get too judgemental and lose motivation. If I keep it somewhat abstract, I don't judgem myself that much I get more motivated!
