I must be longing for summer already and it's only the winter solstice. This says SUMMMER to me. I wish it was here already. As usual the color knocks me out.
This was a summer painting. I started that log cabin quilt a very long time ago, and got stalled on the top stitching. I have painted it a number of times, though!
Thanks! I started that quilt years ago when I was living in Iowa City--it's made from old feed bags I found in a hardware store. Still need to finish the top-stitching.

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".

Congrats on the article, Susan.
