Looking down from Mt. Mansfield, the highest peak in Vermont: a vantage point that transforms our comfortable and familiar landscape into a place both grand and alien.
What a delicious scene! The colors are so rich and wonderful and I like how you did the darkest foreground that still shows the shapes of that mountain with touches of warmth.
Thank you! In the original painting the color is quite saturated, especially the blue. Computer monitors are so different, it's impossible to know or control what everyone out there is seeing...a good reason that print isn't dead (and why I'd like to publish a catalogue of this series down the road.)

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".

Love the beautiful color and atmosphere. It is a bit sci-fi from up there.
