Boy. These are great paintings. The warmth and depth of the light is so inviting. Each one stands alone well, but I really like seeing the whole series together. Its like taking walk through this beautiful place!
I appreciate your comments, Marie, Terri and Kaylyn. I painted this during a morning in this town--divided my paper into four panels, and gave myself a half hour for each. Used three colors--a triad of primaries--which helped move things along. No problem finding compositions there, with such strong sun and shadows.

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 all these little French street scenes! Lovely pure watercolor technique!

beautiful colors and great grouping of the 4. Only 3 primaries...you got a lot of color from three. Half hour each! Impresses me, Susan!
