Now that I'm home again in my studio, here's one last painting (an experiment in the style of the "Douanier Rousseau") brought back from the past before I dig in for a new series of work and a long winter.
Thank you, Gaia. I probably confuse some of my blog visitors by sometimes throwing into the mix a different style or subject matter. This piece, and occasional others, are older, and were visual ideas I didn't pursue, for one reason or another, further that a few images. No experiment is ever a blind alley, though, as I find I always come away with something, even if it's just seeing an indefinite idea made real.

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".

Very nicely done! Experimenting, I believe, is how we continue to discover our personal style, and keep learning at the same time.
