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".

Thank you, Ross!
Really like the big expanses of gorgeous color, Susan!
Beautifully painted! It's a wonderful scene and I like the palette you selected.
Thank you, Elizabeth. Prussian blue, quinacridone coral, and aureolin were the main colors I used--with a little pyrol orange and cerulean as needed.
Thanks for writing, Kathy!
Susan, this is so great!
Thanks so much, Don!
This is very lovely. I like the bold swathes of color and the contrast of the shadows.The bright green cypress is my favorite part!
Bold use of colors and patterns makes it a special piece of art, Susan!Shapes are well balanced, loved the effect the blue has created here.
