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.

day #279 - Colorburst

Last night I watched Alfonso Cuaron's Great Expectations adaptation and it left me wanting to start working big again. These days (after revisiting the pieces that I did) I feel constantly the urge. For now this isn't possible. In any case, since I had wrapped up the last piece I started a new one today.

Time for bed, and I wanted to test something out on the ipad so I ended up doodling some symbolic birds. I call them symbolic since they are trying to become birds but in reality they are what I imagine a bird to be; not through observation, but through all these years of NOT observing them. I find this very interesting; it's a theme I allow my mind to play out. In any case, at some point I'll start observing them.
