While I've been going through some things at my mother's house, I've come across reams of my drawings from art school days. Here's a painting of seed pods brought in from a field I've now forgotten, years ago, in another autumn.
Thank you, Maggie and Mary. I've done a few other paintings with this type of seed pod--I can't think now what it's called, but I like its delicate form. I'll have to go out in our meadow when I get home, and look for some more of these vines.

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".

Susan, it's timeless. Just as beautiful as your work is now. Beautiful shapes and rich, harmonious color!
A lovely piece...wonderful to come across some of this old work which still holds up on its own.

It certainly IS timeless. I love the combination of positive and negative painting here. It's beautiful!
