Thanks for writing, everybody. I really appreciate your comments. I like these night scenes, and they seem to strike a chord with others, too--must be a mood we all have, in this transition time of day. Often I'll want to record a dusk landscape that's I've only had time to just glimpse, as the light is fading so quickly--but the mood and impression remains. I'm planning a series of night landscape oils--here's the first: http://www.susanabbott.com/placespossessions6.html

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 love how you neutralized the darks and grayed down the color without losing it.
Great one.
