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 #289 - Procreating

Day 289. Suddenly 365 feels within my grasp. A part of me feels that this could be a possible end for this blogging journey. It feels whole. Then again I'm thinking that there is still meaning in presenting the struggle over the years. Perhaps in a different format, perhaps not daily posts. Anyway, we still have a couple of months to think about that. For now, let's focus on today's piece. This is another piece that reminds me of myself. These lines? Very me-like. Perhpas I'm not used to doing it with colors, but why not? I like the lines, the motiffs, the space. I like the colors and the various greens I've made. I like the soft palette. I like the yellows, and the soft surfaces VS the sharp strokes. I like how I'm using watercolors with lots of water to create soft tones. I don't know if it's a painting, a drawing or whatever. I'm not 100% proud of this piece; something feels cheap, but I can't pinpoint it. Like yesterday, I'll have to let the piece grow in me. Perhaps I'll like it (or hate it). For now I'm primarily happy that I did another piece, and did something that both is my style, and something experimental.
