One of my favorite places to walk on an early spring day when I lived in Washington.

Susan, this and the one below are particularly beautiful: i love the handling of the light and shadows in this one; and below all those almost goemetric shapes mesmerise.
Susan, yesterday when you mentioned Sligo Creek, I figured it was conincidence, and that there was certainly more than one Sligo creek in the US. Today, well, I know exactly what you're talking about, Brookside Gardens is just down the road from me, and it's wondrous! Love the look of that wall.
Thanks for your comment, Nel. I really enjoyed the gardens and greenhouses when I lived in Washington. And I'd bring my truck to the stables to get horse manure for my suburban garden--good preparation for my current rural life in Vermont.
This brings back lovely memories... I used to go to Brookside Gardens all the time when I was a child. Especially loved the Japanese-style garden there.

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".

Many thanks for writing, Rahini!
