White on White

The same three colors as yesterday's post. Simply stated, painting is all about relationships.

Pitcher on Flowers

Watercolor allows for simplicity of means, in this case defining a white shape by three surrounding colors: a red, yellow and blue mixed into a garden of variations.

Four Bowls (detail)

This is the second painting in a multipanel piece I'm working on (the first panel finished was posted on February 8th.) As I complete each section and the individual parts begin a relationship with each other, the entire composition starts to take on a life of its own.

Lemon Slices

A favorite teacup, both delicate and intense, like the heroine in the Trollope novel I'm listening to while painting.

Red Barn in Snow

Back to reality today, and winter on my hill. Taylor Farm Road is as much a study in color as the Caribbean.

Memory: View from Moonhole

Still thinking about Bequia on another very cold, if sunny, Vermont morning. Moonhole is a very odd, wonderful collection of dwellings (no room has more than three walls--imagine the home of an elegant Flintstone) carved out of a high cliff, with long views of sky and ocean. Here I'm looking towards the island's tiny landing strip and Paget Farm, a fishing village.
