day #365 - the end of an era

Image
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 #361 - Almost forgot!

I almost forgot writing my entry today! Got back and turned my computer on.
Today I tried to be relaxed and took out the "cheap" watercolors trying to something that isn't too consequential but something fun instead. Not sure I enjoyed it (apparently, it doesn't work if you expect it to work) but I did three small pieces. A part of the success is that I kept them simple. I accepted the faxt that these pieces didn't have to be anything important. The second thing I enjoyed was remembering how these watercolors perform. It wasn't as impressive as that one time, but still they were quite fun. Finally I like that I re-did that reclined human posture. There is something about it that I like. Achilles drinking while reclined. I don't know where this impring comes from. In any case, this has been a productive day (despite not having made any "instaworthy" painting - I hate how I measure everything by that standard now and how this is taxing me). I got to reuse a material I'm not lately using and did somethings I don't do too often (like the strange fae and the tiny wiggly lines at the eggshell). The end of the blog is very near. Time for rest.
