March Daily #4

Painting of a glass mug of hot water and a Japanese strawberry Kitkat bar, which doesn't really taste like real strawberries or even the American candy approximation of strawberries. It's kind of funny how different countries interpret common candy flavors. I often have hot water with desserts or pastries, it's something I learned from my grandmother. Maybe it's a Taiwanese thing, to always be drinking just plain hot water?

It's really nice to get back to this, it helps me to decompress. I took a week long break to concentrate on freelance work and study my butt off for an interview, which I just had yesterday. Can't really complain though, I played through a lot of Farcry 4. What a gorgeous game!

No gin today, I had wine with dinner instead.  I need to figure out leaves. Rushed gridding out the perspective, and it shows. Oh well! 1.5 hours.

Whew! Unintentional break from the blog. I spent an exhausting but inspirational week at both Launch Festival and the Game Developer's Conference. It was great to meet people working so hard for their vision, whether it be for a startup, indy game or new service.

Since I am definitely an introvert at heart, there are times where it is vital for me to charge my social battery in order to retain my sense of humor and social intelligence. Painting is now my favorite way of doing so.

So here's to continuing the themes of still lifes and gin. (2.5 hours.) Needless to say, that gimlet was gone about halfway through the session. This one was extra green because of the Rose's lime and splash of absinthe. Mike made it up on New Year's Eve and dubbed it "Splash Mountain," our official drink of 2015. Cheers!

My reward for finishing is right in front of me, mmm...
