Milestone Blog, Palette Cleanser #20, and 700 blogs!

Since earlier this year I have been making these 'palette cleanser' paintings where I literally clean off my painting palette to get it ready for the next painting. In doing so I get to mess around with the paints and do these stream-of-consciousness paintings. Since I paint a lot, it is important to mix up the strategy and keep it interesting which is why I have developed so many series like the landscape series, abstract painting, surrealism etc. My blog has been going on since 2008 on blogspot the google product, before that, I had been blogging for a few years on HostPapa a website host which I had to discontinue to lack of funds at the time. On blogger, I just reached 700 blog posts! Since I ended last year on 500 total all time posts, that means I completed 200 blog posts this year. I don't really care about how many posts I make, but its human nature to love milestone numbers. Most of all, I feel more inspired than ever as an artist, in a large part due to a spate of depression and isolation prompted by the COVID-19 lock down. 9 x 12" watercolour paper,  watercolour, July 2020
