Daily #4332 Working with the inconsistency of the sahara beige pastel marker.

Daily #4331 Metallic black on this black is always an interesting challenge. This particular painting was very challenging to pass through and not necessarily satisfied with the result. There are some nice moments. I am almost compelled to try to recreate it using other materials.

Daily #4330 Cooling down with some metallic blue. A mood.

Daily #4329 Yesterday spent some time looking at previous dailies of this year. Some of them are very impressive to me and wonder to myself if I thought lowly of them when they were created, something felt regarding todays piece. Might I feel different about it at a later date? As I write this suddenly an idea comes to mind to go back and give each work a rating. Immediately want to unthink this idea. Although the idea I had yesterday was better in that considered that the ones favoured could be re-produced in part as departure points for larger works.

Daily #4328 When not shaken the grey paint of the marker comes in a variation. As I painted it stablised as can be seen on the sides.

Daily #4327 Has a formality to it. Used a pure red that is not from the usual selection of colours.

Daily #4326 What am I saying in that I did not want to make the green areas completely opaque?

Daily #4325 Reading from a straw with two forms of light.

Daily #4324 Brought the chrome back in. Also found a way to make the metallic black paint more satisfying for my tastes.

Daily #4323 Back in black in the back.

Daily #4322 The center of axis provides the illusion that there exists a fixed point in space.

Daily #4321 In a way not having different background colour schemes every day as originally planned is akin to how I create the sigil/gift series. Not entirely convinced that this is the best approach. I did shuffle the bunches around. They are like clusters.

Daily #4320 A balance of fire and metal.

Daily #4319 Managing best one can with what is already on the plate.

Daily #4318 It's those sharp lines again, like spikes. Tempered with some blocked elements.

Daily #4317 Finding a balance between the thick and thin.

Daily #4316 As mentioned yesterday, broke it.

First of a series of blue background paintings on paper. No title yet. Acrylic 30.5 cm x 3

Daily #4315 This light blue background series appears to be encouraging me to keep things thin and light. Will try to break this tomorrow.
