I painted this as a demonstration on Tahiti Beach, and it became a lesson in how to race in watercolors while trying to keep up with a constantly changing sky.
You are a spectacular artist. Just stumbled here in the usual internet way -- following (interlocking?)links. Don't even remember where I started, but what a lucky landing. Watercolor is so, so difficult, and yours are so strong. Thanks for transporting me away, too. So nice given the snow day I had today.
Thank you so much for these comments, all! Kablooey, I just took a look at your blog--funny, I was thinking about the intersection of painting and motherhood right before I read your profile. Many women artists I know don't have children, but being both a mother and a painter has been quite an interesting--if intense, in more ways than one-- journey for me.

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".

Your work is stunning! The color is breathtaking.
I really like your color transitions, particularly in the water!
Absolutely sparkling watercolor. Light, bright and so like a resort setting.
