It has been good to see you back and sharing your inspiring art and motivational commentary, once more, Chris! I am currently on day 149 of consecutive daily art. I wouldn't have made it this far if you hadn't championed the concept of the daily minimum. It definitely helps to tailor the ritual to your own situation and customize the parameters. I do a 15 minute (minimum) figure sketch each day. With an infant to take care of at home and a long shift at work, 15 minutes is the most I can regularly do on a weekday, for now, at least. Tracking your daily progress certainly has a positive psychological effect, too. I don't have a website, but since my sketches are (mostly) digital, I have them saved in the same folder. It's an easy way to see what I've achieved thus far, with respect to both consistency and skill level. I recommend that anyone who is about to start a daily art journey find a simple way, if possible, to collect and maintain a record of their work. Helpful of you to share your color palette for this painting. I actually did a digital follow along to your piece, "Going Home" a few months ago. One of the things I learned is that it is hard to tell the pigment of a paint based on how it looks on the palette. My version came out very purple, until I adjusted the colors after the fact. It amazes me to see physical media artists such as yourself navigate color mixing with such apparent ease.
