At this stage, working quickly, some things happen (like the pencil line above the mountain ridge) that I like but that will probably disappear as this painting develops--and may come again as an idea to pursue in another series.

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".

The line isn't distracting at all, I don't think,l but adds emphasis to the linear work in the painting. I really like this.
Absolutely gorgeous. As this picture emerged that sky unfolded - stunning! Superb colours. Love this just the way it is!
Thank you, Shea, Anita and Sandy, glad you like this painting. I want to refine this some more, and will post when finished.
