A boat trip on the Seine is always fun on a May afternoon in Paris--as well as a great opportunity for fast drawing of quays, trees, beautiful buildings, and my fellow passengers.

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".

Love the sketches Susan, and the combination of pens you have used. These are great memories for you and for us all to share. Thanks.
Thank you for your comment, Ann! I find that the two pens (sanguine and black) give the page nice variety, even without the addition of watercolor.
Great sketches. Love the bit of wash on them.
