march 22. a month of daily art.

This window is falling apart in front of our eyes…

I’m slipping back into old habits with more detail in my work… I have to try loosen up again.

I still have a stack of these tall narrow cards so there’ll be more of this size over the next few days.

After that, I’ll start working in more traditional shapes – that fit into ready made frames. And I have tons of photos of doors and windows and stairs and alleys and all kinds of things I can paint.

Meanwhile, I ordered a stack of frames, so I hoped to frame some more work, but I doubt I’ll have time cause Aunt #1 is unwell so I’m going to see her tomorrow morning, then I have a ton of other stuff to do before returning to Athens.

I’m going back on Friday, so I have to organise everything and pack.

Luckily I have paints and brushes in Athens so I know I can do more work while I’m there!

Then, before you know it, it’ll be the end of the month and I won’t have to do any more daily art… Though I’ve really enjoyed doing it and don’t want to stop. When I get into the zone I forget the time entirely. Today I missed an appointment cause by the time I looked at the clock it was 45min past the time I was supposed to be there. Oops.

Once the month is up I might change things up a bit – some small paintings, some work on larger paintings, some framing of existing work, maybe something else… a bit of daily creativity instead of just painting.

Who said that art is just painting anyway? Hm… I guess that was me that implied it.

Anyway, here is today’s offering. Wonder what I’ll feel like doing tomorrow…

    • I have tons of photos I took on Syros too, which I will get around to working from eventually. I’ve been working on the new laptop a lot cause I can have it in front of me at the table and most of those photos are on the old laptop (which is now a desktop cause the monitor doesnt work so its connected to a separate monitor).
      I’ll have to copy some over to work from. If I have time and remember I’ll find and copy some before leaving for athens tomorrow.

  1. Oh yeah, my kind of thaing, as you know. Love the thought of the stories behind the look of abandonment expressed by the damage, disrepair, and dilapidation. For me, it is the difference between reading a story and listening to an audio version; the use of one’s imagination. I know the audio works for you so no judgment is inferred. That piece, however, fits directly into my storytelling perceptions and fondness. And you also know my love of detail, a means of underlining the sadness of the decay. Loved this piece….. big time. And so endeth the constructive critique
