January 31, 2013 - Gift (Last Painting)


































This is the last painting in this series.  As I look at the past 27 paintings
I've done I realize they could be very much be considered illustrations rather
than paintings.  I wrote about it a bit in my last post, but with this project,
my initial expectation was that in doing it I would transition into something
new.  Now I realize, it was more of an extension- or elaboration of the daily
drawing project.

When I finished that one after 365 days, I wasn't willing to start again but,
I also didn't feel quite ready to end it.  I think this bi-weekly project was
about phasing it out of my system gradually.  I view these two back
to back projects as one.  Now, two years later I realize that I've created 392
pieces of artwork.  When I think of that number I'm surprised at how many
that is- that's a lot!  My goal now is to: (1)Take a break (2) Finally open an
online shop and then (3) Start something new.

Thanks for reading and Happy 2013!
