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

Today I resumed work on the same piece. I struggled with the placement of the characteristics of the face. While yesterday I was content with the misplaced, crooked landmarks of the face, today I decided to work a bit more on the symmetry of it. I am not sure what prompted it. In any case, I rework it. It's nice as practice, since I was under the impression that pastels couldn't be reworked and yet so far I've been doing it successfully on this piece! Today's takeaway is a furthering of my pastels technique, a stronger grounding to the notion of working on a piece I am not all that comfortable technically with. At the same time, working on something I am not very comfortable with is a joy in itself. I love it that I'm pushing my boundries!
After going to bed, I did some doodling. I like the three finger hand that I did.
