The underpainting for the middle panel of the triptych--as always at this stage, a one step forward, two steps back process of sneaking up on what it is I'm trying to say.
It's going to be interesting to see how the softer light and more muted color of this last group will work with the more saturated panels. It should provide a strong visual contrast, a very clear seasonal expression.
I haven't put this one together yet with the "summer" triptychs--and you're right, Altoon, it will be interesting to see how they relate to each other. Hopefully successfully! The panels in this new triptych are 6" larger than in the other two. A very big difference--suddenly the mountain or road become a sizable expanse to cover with paint, and the surface is much more of an issue.

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".

La lumière et les couleurs jouent et dansent ensemble... belle toile.

Thank you, Shea. This one is so much more subdued than my usual. I'm glad you are responding to the color, even within this narrow range.
