Thank you! I didn't feel masterful painting it though--felt like I didn't know what the hell I was doing, trying to keep up with the changing color. One thing I've learned, maybe mastered, is not quitting out of discouragement, but instead just plowing ahead to the finish line (in the case of plein air, when the light changes.)

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".

Oh, my! Now this is watercolor doing what it does best - in the hands of a masterful painter.
