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 #263 - Soft Underbelly

Today's piece has been the closest I've done to a build-to-order piece. Not even remotely, but I had a specific situation and people to receive it in mind while making it, and not only that, but also there was a certain aspect of expectations to it! They had asked me for something with certain features. In other words, function? check. Specifications? check. A certain transactional element to it? Check!
Anyway, There are many things about it that I like. The colors, the lushness, the free-style gibberish, curvy lines! Lot's of stuff that I enjoy. It's not one of my favourite pieces, neither the most exciting or experimental ones, but I like it. As a backstory, I was asked to give a painting to sweeten a deal, but I realized that at this point I cannot part with any pieces that I have made so far, so the only fair option would be to make something that will be made to be given. Perhaps like a surrogate mother of sorts.
