Your color is so brilliant. Are you using a liquid watercolor such as Doc Martins? I love the intense color. Do you ever plan a workshop near Kansas City MO?
Thanks for writing, Nina. I use regular transparent watercolors, either Schmincke, Winsor Newton or Daniel Smith, depending on the hue. I don't have any workshops scheduled out your way. If you are on my workshop newsletter list (go to my blog, top right, "join mailing list"), I'll keep you updated on my classes.

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".

Oh, how fantastic is this! Love the colors and high contrast.

The light in this is beautiful! I'm delihted to have found your work and I'm ooking forward to following your blog.
Two things catch me eye: restraint and the slight "unvertical" central line. Lots to learn here.
I appreciate your careful looking.
