Goodbye 2009.. Welcome 2010

Hallo :)

I just want to wish you a happy 2010.. May all your wishes come true *only the good ones hehe*

to update you on my progress.. I'm more relaxed now.. I have ideas.. and I am currently drawing and painting but outside the 365 project. I will show you pictures later ;)

Another Interesting Day...

Today I realised something.. With a good friend on your side, you can do ANYthing... you can laugh at a really serious presentation knowing that this friend will be difinately laughing with you. You can walk in places where only with your friend by your side, you can reach the marina.. you can even decide to challenge yourself but only if you have your friend challenging her own self too..

So I believe I can do this.. YES I CAN have 365 paintings in 365 days.. And Insha'Allah we will take pride of ourselves and our achievement by the end of this 365 challenging days.

A msg for "some of us" and the other "some of us" ;)

“There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.”

I think I underestimated this challenge... Today is the 9th day and I have 2 finished paintings *of which I'm happy with* and 2 other semi-finished paintings *of which I'm not really hmmm... satisfied* but the point is that I tried..

I ruined *and then tried to fix* the last 2 paintings.. and I know why.. because I need to paint when I really don't want *or not in the mood* to paint.. and the quality is dropping and this is the last thing I would like to see in my drawings... coz I know when I draw or paint.. it's like I'm drawing a part of me.. so it has to be good and I have to like it before anyone else does...

For now, I will try to produce 1 painting per day, now lets see if I can stick to this simple plan..

One thing to remember is to take care not to end up hating what I like to do.. just to win the challenge... *merci for the advice*

*a whisper in the dark*

You're my strongest motive to keep going in this challenging challenge ^^... For the first time I'm starting to have second thoughts whether I can do this or not.. I still think I can but only with you on my side.. You impress me with your positive attitude toward this project and you get me motivated so easily. so a big MERCI goes to you..

and remember: “Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew. They're what make the instrument stretch-what make you go beyond the norm.”  and we shall “Accept the challenges so that we may feel the exhilaration of victory.”

Hallooo...

I was very motivated  and excited to do something today thanks to my dear friend.. But at the end I had a busy day so I couldn't produce any new sketches today. However I painted the sketch in the previous blog.. soooo here's how a part of it looks:

I will try to sketch something before sleeping...  otherwise I have another sketch *evil laugh*

 *special msg for you, my partner in crime*

I feel lucky to be in this project with a good friend who motivates and inspires me..

I don't know what I'll do without you..  and I don't know what I'll do with you either.. I'm talking about Friday.. ooooh no I knowwww.. kekeke I should go to bed now...
