After looking at Impressionist paintings in Paris museums all week, painting in this quiet spot today seemed like stepping back a hundred years in time.
I look at your paintings regularly and don't comment enough. But maybe because it is Paris, or maybe because I just returned from the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens today, I just have to tell you how much I love your light and shadows in this painting.
These are such wonderful watercolors. I have such fond memories of the Luxembourg Gardens. You are such a brilliant colorist and the color really captures the feel of the place.

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".

Thank you, Shirley. I love the Luxembourg Gardens. Parts of it have these wonderful patterns of deep shadow and spotlit sun--and great chairs...
Lovely! Wish I were there! I'm glad you're having a wonderful time.
Thank you, Candy! Would love to see the painting you'd do here...see you in VT this summer.
Maravilhosa esta tela. Tenha um bom Domingo. Marta

So impressionistic, light and cheerful...wish I were in Paris instead of rainy VT, but it is very green.
