I've spent many happy hours in Madrid's wonderful museums this week, taking visual notes in my sketchbook as I look at everything from Velasquez to Sorolla, Hopper to Picasso, and all the periods of painting before, after and in-between.
"A Painter's Year" has moved to a new and improved site. Please come with us by clicking here! And you can see new painting galleries, travel sketchbooks and more at my new website home. Subscribe to new posts below. Thank you!

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".

These pages are great and didn't need identifying labels since you captured essence of originals so well. I'd love to see a whole lot more.
Thank you for your comments! I do plan to put all my sketchbooks from the trip online when I get back to my studio.
