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 #311 - Cavemonster

Today I resumed work on the Cavemoster or however it's called - unexpectedly I don't know what it is yet, but I'm not really worried. I know there is something lurking under the surface waiting to pop. It was another day of refining the brushwork (or better stickwork). The fact that I can't start a new piece because I don't have enough hardboards feels idiotic but honestely very limiting. I've observed that when the pastel dries a bit (perhaps cools down?) it's easier to paint on it which is a nice thing that I'm trying to use to my advantage. Anyway, this is a piece where I love the color vibrancy and has a certain naive cartoony charm. Plus, I am happy that I'm practicing these refining sessions since I will later be able to apply them to more important pieces (when and if they ever come). Another thing I'm glad about today has been that I did go out for painting! In the evening I started some doodling on the iPad but run out of time. Well, next time!
