The men of the village play an intense game of dominoes, as serious as it is fun, under the laundry. Click here to see a photo album from my visit to the Batey Libertad.
Susan, I love the composition of this one. The strong diagonal of the clothesline is perfectly balanced by the rooster! I like the way the subject you write about is hidden, it makes me want to peer deeper into your sketch. Wonderful!

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".

Thanks, Christine. I'm working on a more developed watercolor with this composition. I like the way the figures are hidden under the laundry, too.
every single area is wonderfully designed. That's what it's all about. This is beautiful.
