Here's a valentine to my mom, who paid my way through five years of art school on her bookkeepers salary, and never once suggested I consider a more "practical" profession than being an artist.

What a beautiful way to honor a Mom.
Although I always enjoy your mailings, this one was especially lovely to see on Valentine's Day.

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".

You are a thoughtful and an appreciative daughter! Barb
