I'm sitting in my studio this frigid afternoon (garbed in four top layers, long underwear, and a wool hat), trying to extract a little of the warmth of this sun-saturated July afternoon last year in Joucas.
Thank you, Candy and Elizabeth. I'll have to blame the zero temperatures outside for the cold in here the last few days. My Rinnai heater normally does wonders keeping this space warm enough that I can forgo outerwear when I'm painting indoors, but it just can't keep up this week.

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 all of your work, but your watercolors are my favorites. You've got "it"!
I feel it! (the warmth, that is.)
Why is it that artists' studios are often so cold???
