Susan, thanks for the answer on the colors yesterday. At least I got one right!
Your Oregon Coast paintings fill me with a combination of longing, admiration and envy. I live 60 miles away and haven't been able to make it there for awhile. Your vision of the area is unique and beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for these comments, Altoon and Adrianne. I visited the Oceanside area for the first time last winter, and really loved it. The coast there feels like nothing I've ever experienced--the silvery light, scale of rock formations, subtlety of color. Am hoping to get back there again soon. Sixty miles away, Adrianne--take a day trip! This must be a lovely time of year there--no crowds, and plenty of lovely gray (which you can mix from that triad!)

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".
Emptiness and light.

beautiful, Susan. The minimal color is very poetic, the light specific. I love the horizontal cloud in a vertical format.
