What can I say about painting a painting a day for 2 years?... First, I have learned a tremendous amount. What was once something I had to think about is now something I do more instinctively. For instance I used to have to consciously consider my color temperature, now its more like taking the correct silverware out of the drawer. Second, painting each day, even with life's ups and down, is a habit. A habit I don't question. That means I have had to guard my time like a she-wolf. And that doesn't always make friends. Third, passion feeds habit, habit feeds passion. Does that make sense?
So now I think I will go celebrate with a soy chai, smile and get ready for the next painting.

That's weird, this piece looks almost like my charcoal piece I just did---posted on my blog.
I like it.
I love that part about "taking the right silverware out of the drawer". Congratulations on all your focused discipline and hard work. Your passion shows through in every piece you create.
A heart felt congratulations on real perseverance and more importantly on creating so many fine pieces of art. Always a pleasure to drop by a look at your latest work.

Congratulations! Your discipline and consistent work pays off big time - your work is gorgeous.
Great perseverance and great art, hard work that's fun, and a journey that only gets better. What else could you ask for?
Loriann, an incredible accomplishment. A body of work that most wouldn't be able to accomplish in a life time. I remember we discussed some time ago about how one develops a recognizable body of work.
How do you go about developing a style, a look a mark that identifies each piece as a Signori. You've done that 10 times over. As Bob said, "great perseverance and great art.
Congratulations and thank you for the inspiration you've given so many of us.
Your painting Buddy.
Lorianne,Congratulations on two years. My hat's off to you. Thank you for sharing your expeience. Your works are so beautiful, inspiring as well.
A congratulations from me too! I love what you wrote about passion feeding habit, habit feeding passion. SO true!
And the immense growth here in your blog is living proof. Keep going....

Yay! Hard to believe it has been 2 years. What an amazing accomplishment. But then again, you amaze me pretty consistently!
Your talent and your prose coupled with your tenacity to post on such a regular basis is awesome. Congratulations on all fronts. I almost thought about skipping my own entry tomorrow, but the gauntlet has been thrown. You are an inspiration in more ways than one to us that follow your journey.
Congratulations on this amazing accomplishment! I admire your dedication a great deal. I found your blog through Raymond Logan's Daily Painter Review and I am so glad I did. I'll be back to see more of your beautiful work.
Kind regards,
Nicki

Hi Domi!!! Hard to believe it is 2 years and without your help figuring out all the technology blimps it never would have happened. Remember the time my whole website was lost by certain technologists and YOU graciously helped me build it back better! Thank you for all you do!
