I'm finding, in looking over my plein air studies, that they sometimes combine in unexpected ways into new compositions, and with some repainting can transform from single studies to multi-panel essays on a subject.
Thank you! One of the interesting things about "recombining" these panels is seeing how often and where in plein air painting the same colors on my palette reappear--in the case of these three compositions, the cobalt violet and cerulean blue.

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".
