Journal – Day 2 of 100 Days Of Abstract Painting

Today is definitely one of those days where my actions are on autopilot. I feel like I’m really not in the mood to care about any attempts of my mind to try to trick me. So I am just going to go through the motions. It’s also one of those days where I just feel flat. You know when like winter days first start appearing for the season, and the overcast clouds, just make you feel a little different? Kind of feels like those days, though it’s not really overcast. It’s definitely not bright and sunny either.

I’ve been observing throughout the day that I am constantly on guard about making sure that I have time to do all three of my 100 day projects. So on guard that today I got a 15 minute head start at lunchtime on my acrylic painting project. My sessions for all my 100 day projects are in the late afternoon, early evening…

But here I am, in my actual session (well, I guess the remaining 35 mins) ready to continue highlighting what I like about my pieces of inspiration.

I must say, this concept phase and creating small studies of design features I like, is taking longer than I would have desired. But that’s okay.

I am going to follow the process and let it lead me wherever. If I didn’t want to continue, it would be as though I am claiming that I know where I’m going and I don’t like my destination.

But given I don’t know where I’m going and what my destination holds, it would be silly to claim that I do. So we will carry on.
