paintings 4



 probably 1.5h.  birds are not hard to draw, and they are cute.  I love them.

踊っている鼻 dancing noses.    maybe 3-4 hours.  

at least 5 hours.  I started this one at like 11:30pm.  I often only start painting these when I get home from school,
which is like 10:30.  it's really stupid to start such a big painting so late lol.  in the end, I went for the glare and shadow post processing effect to (basically) hide the fact that the painting is totally unfinished.  but i guess you could say it's just me being artistic?  not sure lol.  at any rate, it conveys the meaning that I wanted it to, which is pretty much the goal for all of these daily paintings.    

"the hubris of man"  maybe 4 hours, I don't remember.  straight-up photo study.  

I've been doing a lot of paintings recently. I've had a lot of finals recently. I've been staying up late a lot recently.  I've been sick a lot recently.  I wonder if these things are related at all lol. all-in-all, I've done 21 paintings in the past month.  I'm very proud, because that level of dedication is definitely a first for me, and I can safely say I'm no longer afraid of painting!! mission accomplished.  

I'm looking forward to the semester being over (save me), so I can really get a handle on my new workload for the break and upcoming semester.   also, I'm making an effort to put my work out there for other people to see for the first time.  every single one of those 21 paintings were uploaded on facebook.  if you're coming from there, or my instagram, thanks so much for your time.  it means a lot to me.
