I'm trying out a few more compositions, looking for the right "winter" panel in my Road Element painting, an image with the right combination of "Wow, that view ahead is really pretty" and "Wow, this driving is really scary!"
I can't say enough about the colors in this piece. I feel totally 'there' in the waning winter day. The color of the sky is so right one and your rich color makes my heart beat faster
Thanks, Mary. The question behind this "Element" series is "Why does landscape create feelings?" so your comment is making me feel I'm on the right track.

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".

even your more somber, wintry scenes like this one vibrate with delicious color.
