Work in Progress: Dates in a Life Walking Project 2025


Here is the month of April in my Dates in a Life Walking Project 2025 painting, a year-long painting documenting the number of steps I walked each day. I have documented my steps in paintings since 2016.

The black icons represent up to 9999 steps walked each day, red represents 10,000-19,999 steps and yellow represents 20,000-29,999 steps.

I was able to walk 10,000 steps or more on six days in April. The weather was good for walking but I wasn't able to take advantage of it as much as I would have liked.

The Iridescent Bright Gold background paint used to signify the days (mostly weekends, but also including holidays, vacations days, and sick days) I was not at work, which usually gives me more time to walk for exercise than the days I am at work, with the exception of sick days (of course).

The picture below shows January through April with plenty of room for the rest of the year.
