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 #260 - Repressed

Without much friction, today I went out and resumed the last pastel piece I had put aside for a week or so (btw, I still have another piece half-finished; very glad that I have three wooden-boards nowadays).
I was both pleased by the process of painting on that piece (ah, you can't beat the physicality of actual, tactile paint) and the result too. I feel it's coming along nicely. I've reached a point that I'm smoothing out the details, adding reflections and overally cleaning up the piece and this is both easy and pleasant. It feels fresh and alive too. At the same time, I can see some progress in regards to understanding how to work with pastels. I'm improving in other words. I wish all my pieces were like this one - both a pleasure to work on, very subconscious and yet very easy to read.
