Ideas. We'll see.
Month 5, Day 1
Clean slate and I'm ready for it. Last month was crazy and I'm still recouping from it all. Here's to a fresh start.
Month 4, Day 31
Month 4 complete.
Under Authority
36" x 48"
ink, acrylic and spray enamel on wood panel
Month 4, Day 30
This is my favorite bit at the moment. One day to go. Tomorrow I will be done.
Month 4, Day 29
Working.
Month 4, Day 28
So far on every piece in this 12 Month series I've had to do a bit of research and had various challenges on how to achieve certain things. This usually means dong some digging and creating initial studies to work out how to deal with an element in a way that makes sense for my style and approach. One of the nice things about this is that you learn a lot along the way. First time ever interpreting a CPD badge.
Month 4, Day 27
A few days led to go on this. I thought I had more time.
Month 4, Day 26
Working. Doing my best to keep this going. Every month so far has had it's own unique set of challenges but if there was a contest for toughest July would win.
Month 4, Day 25
Assuming I get this piece done by the end of this month I keep wondering what kind of memories I will have entwined in the process of it's making.
Month 4, Day 24
Laced up.
Month 4, Day 23
A bit more line work to go on this.
Month 4, Day 22
Chipping away at this months piece, slower than normal for sure. I really underestimated how exhausting pain can be. I had to start working on this sitting flat.
Month 4, Day 21
Working. That is all.
Month 4, Day 20
A bit of outside research for this months piece. It's interesting to build things from memories but the do a little digging to fill in the gaps.
Month 4, Day 19
Shapes and forms. Not feeling particularly articulate about my studio work the last few days. It's been a struggle just getting in the studio much less getting any work done once I'm here so for now just getting some work done is enough.
Month 4, Day 18
Moving along. A little slower than normal but as long as I'm moving.
Month 4, Day 17
A little more progress.
Month 4, Day 16
Made some progress on this today.
Month 4, Day 15
The first half of July has been quite a ride. It's got me wondering about the second half? Setbacks and unexpected interruptions are par for the course with a yearly project with daily commitments. I'm actually glad I have a fire, albeit self imposed, under me because right about now would be a convenient time to fold.
Month 4, Day 14
Drawing in bed. Tomorrow I'll see if I can do a little more than that.
