A Painting A Day




Lately I've been thinking about doing a painting a day. Cara introduced me to http://www.newdressaday.com/ a few weeks ago and i've been checking it out ever since. In 2006 one of my college roommates knew a guy named Justin that did a painting a day and was published in the New York Times. I really liked looking at all his little paintings, still do. This is him - http://justinspaintings.com/ . This is the New York Times article
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/31/fashion/31online.html . It also has some other artists doing the same thing. Here's one more lady that I found and like http://carolmarine.blogspot.com/ .

So the big question are:

Would my attention span be long enough to keep this up?
How long would I do a painting a day?
Could I make that kind of commitment?
Has this already become too popular?
Would I forget I was doing this on occasion?
Would I be able to keep coming up with the necessary supplies?
Does it always have to be a painting, could it be a drawing sometimes?
What if I lost touch with the internet for a day here or there, would my adoring fans riot?

Ok so I'm not actually worried about that last one, well the rioting fans part. So I guess I'll think about it and we'll see what happens.
