A recent flurry of scrabble activity here has me thinking about my Mom (gone now thirteen months from today) who loved the game--and was very willing to sit still while I drew her concentrating on a move.
Nice to see someone like you who not only excels in so many painting mediums, but is also a "sketcher," as I have been, since 1974. Unfortunately, as I did once before in all these years, I just left my sketchbook (#51) in the seatback on a flight from Florida, last weekend. OUCH!!...and a real BUMMER! They say "If something was meant to be yours, it will come back to you." Really a BIG fan of your art.
Thank you for writing, Devoted Mom and William! I left a sketchbook in the same place on a plane on the way to France--I would have really been irritated if it was on my way home, rather than going to, Paris. I also left a sketchbook on top of a car in Acadia Park in Maine. It was returned to me two months later, with a tire track on the cover.

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".
