From a farm road tucked behind a lavender field, with a different motif to paint with every turn of your head (including, on the right, something very unusual for this part of Provence, a little lake reflecting back the sky.)
I really enjoy seeing your paintings and reading your stories about them. And I LOVE how bright and colorful your paintings are!!! (I also like the comments you mix in with ours about the way you worked on them.)
Thanks for writing, Sodohno and Gwendie. My goal is to keep my comments to a sentence or two, so that limits how much i can write about painting process--but I'll keep it in mind to do more of that, hopefully still with brevity!

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".

Very nice. The colors jump out and invite.
