Thanks, Elizabeth! Sometimes I just want to get on with the larger paintings I'm working on and not do these small and fast warm-ups--but I find I feel like I missed something if I don't take time for them. So I'm glad you enjoy seeing them!

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".

I like so much all your journal paintings... they have a spontaneous feeling!! (sorry if there are any mistakes... lol)
Hi Susan,
I love your "journal" paintings, small snapshots of your studio and life. I hope this one is one of many this year...
Happy New Year!

Many thanks for writing, Mariela. I like the one hour time limit--can't help but be spontaneous with so little time...
