A paper bag of plums bought from an elderly lady with an old fruit orchard in her back yard; a bowl from an Iowa hardware store; a handkerchief from a thrift shop in Vermont. Maybe objects can speak their memories in a painting.
This is a beautiful arrangement and a beautiful painting. Love the variety of blues, purples and bronze colors in those plums and the mottled look of the bowl.

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".

Wow I think these objects speak. Their interrelationship and colors say alot about the beauty of a simple life. Gorgeous work!!
