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.

Today's piece has been another new start. I enjoyed a lot working on it, and while I don't enjoy the end result as much, I still have hope for it to reach some intriguing state. I like lots about it: The fact that I started with dark paper but made it light, how I built the forms (I did some extensive sketching that I built into solid forms) - the palette (oily colors, with ochre undertones) - the volume of the branches and the challenging overall composition. In genera I like it a lot for what I did while painting. And what is more: I love the fact that I tried yet something different!!! How cool is that being able to explore new worlds! I hope I never lose this!
