Here's one more sun-drenched street from last summer (in the wonderful village of Viens) to provide a little warmth before I get back to painting slushy Vermont roads in February.
Thank you! Colors, shapes, compositions are so different between Provence and Vermont. The landscape is really defined by angular shadows in Provence, especially in the villages. Here shapes are much rounder, light more diffused. And Vermont is so much greener in summer and whiter in winter than just about any place I can think of.

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".
