After a week of jumping in with my brush and no pencil drawing, I switched gears with this one and began with a pen exploration of roads, fields, trees and houses, and then added color to this miniature world.
Thanks so much for writing, Skizo, Carlitos and Anita. I've painted this somewhat crazy view many times over the years. It's a very public place to paint, in a park with quite a few tourists. A great concentration experiment!
Mmm, I wonder what size it is? Lovely. I like both with pencil and without-- But this one feels more confident somehow. Lovely feeling of dimension and "quilted" color...

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".
