I love your latest series of posts. This one caught my eye but all the work is spectacular; great use of the medium, colors,etc.
By the way I rode a bike once thru the champlain islands! they are just beautiful. I think I recall names like north hero and south hero island? I'd like to get back sometime
Thanks, Rhonda, glad you like these. They're helping me think out the eventual oil paintings. Need to keep that sense of light in them, which can be more difficult in oil. The islands, speaking of light (it has a different quality up there) feel like they're miles apart from the rest of Vermont, like being on the ocean rather than a lake. I want to get up there to paint more often. You should come back to bike again!

My visual journal is inspired by what I see every day: the weather on my hill in northern Vermont, what’s growing in my garden, a curio brought back from travels or an ordinary object from the kitchen shelf made special by careful looking. "Journal" paintings are fast, improvised daily entries, a chance to experiment with new approaches and pay attention to the here-and-now. When I’m traveling, quickly recorded impressions are posted from Paris, Provence, Spain, Maine and anywhere else I’ll find myself this year. My large studio compositions take time, planning, refining of the original inspiration. I'll also be sharing that different kind of creative process with you here on "A Painter's Year".
