Thank you all for writing! That's our little pond, in a low meadow below my studio. Besides painting it, I'm there a few times a day taking our new black lab Roscoe for a swim. I'm really enjoying just watching the changes every day, as we move from late summer into our long Vermont winter.
I love the freshness of this!! It's colorful and brings a smile. The other one is really great, too. The whole of your blog shows such diversity in your abilities...from sketching to plein air to complex paintings! WOW. I like to sketch people on Sunday mornings at church. Sometimes, though, it's not easy to do without catching their notice. Hopefully the rendition will be flattering enough if they demand a look...lol!
Thank you for writing, devoted Mom. Yes, it's best if people don't see my sketches of them! I've developed an ability to look both aloof and distracted when drawing in public. People are probably afraid to ask to see my sketchbook Also, I've realized over time that most people really don't notice much that's going on around them, anyway...

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".

Erittäin onnistunut ja kaunis maalaus. Moderni.
