It seems to me that this entire motel series has a very strong geometric abstract quality; the small buildings and the shrubs a wonderfully clear and simple.
That's true, Altoon, and that's what attracted me to this subject. In composing and painting these, I keep paring down details, and my guess is that when i assemble all of the panels and see the whole composition together, I'll do some further symplifying.

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 it - I love your use of colour and your style.

This series is amazing! The geometric qualities and the light are fantastic!
