I reminded my sketchbook class last weekend to look both up at the rooftops and down in the gutter for imagery when traveling, and that the artist's "found object" is everyone else's trash.

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".

How true--and what a treasure you've made it!
So true. Inspiration is sometimes found in the oddest places.
"The artist's "found object" is everyone else's trash" describes so well my current line of work :-)
