You can daydream, plan and sketch, but it's only when you actually paint that you start to understand (and maybe adapt, but hopefully not doubt) your own ideas.
Wonderful painting. This looks magical-- the combination of giant trees and the little house with strong contrasting shadows and light. Thank you for this!

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. That's part of what attracted me to these images--how light (and viewpoint)can transform a very ordinary place.
The range of colors in the cast shadow on the white wall is amazing. I would love to hear your internal dialog as you paint such things.
