I started keeping a diary of all my painting work in late 2003,
largely because I had no good idea how much work I was actually
getting done - you see, most of my finished models simply sit in egg
cartons trying not to collect too much dust after their initial photo
session.
I didn't really have a plan when I started. Then again, had I stopped for planning, I might not have done this at all. Therefore the classification of work stages is somewhat fuzzy.
The diary entries contain the figures I've worked on during that day and the last work stage I've reached with them. Thus it might appear that some stages are missing - they're not, I just finished more than one stage at a go.
The work stages go roughly like this:
Initially there was no plan to put this on a computer, but that plan
soon emerged. I was already photographing all my finished models and
putting them up on Small Cuts. It was relatively simple to adapt the
comment software to take the diary entries (hardly an ideal solution
from IT perspective, but it works). The beef with the computerized
diary is that the entries are linked to the photo archive. Now I can
see which models exactly did I finish on that rainy November night...
One final caveat: I am only human. Sometimes I forget to make diary entries. Sometimes they are more detailed, sometimes less. Take it as it is, and hopefully enjoy.

I think you have painted more than your fair share, and that would be 2049. Oggie |
