Lazy Nights #4

My year in art, part 2.

About a year ago, October 2022, I stopped posting to this blog. That was after two years of almost daily posts. I am not sure why I stopped. I suspect all the usual excuses apply; artist block, burnout, lazy, busy. I started up again in February with the short series Monochrome Minimalism. My focus was on abstract shapes, without color. Something easy to get going again.

Experiment 2023.1 followed, which consisted, in part, of coloring the shapes in the previous series. Both of these were a bit of a struggle. I did not have anything specific in mind. I was not trying to create a particular mood or image. I just creatively splashed the screen. If I liked the result and thought someone else would find it interesting, that was good enough. Still, despite that freedom, it seemed more like work than hobby to meet my self-assigned goal of one post a day.
