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.

day #319 - Double trouble

So today I worked a bit on the conceited buddha and later I had the energy to start another watercolor painting! I was working loosely with lots of water so I had to wait big intervals for it to dry. This was something I don't often do; What is even more surpirsing is that I reached a point late in the evening that I was very tired, and decided that I will put it aside for the day! That's something I haven't done before with watercolors, so it's very exciting! At the same time, I resisted the urge to just sloppily wrap it up since it felt that I would be ruining it! I'm proud of myself. Not that the piece is great but it's nice to see being able to slow down.
As for the piece itself, and its merits, I like the boldness of the strokes, the use of white, and the fact that for once I did a vertical composition!
