Really like what you did with these colors. And, what a coincidence, I posted a painting on my blog for friends and family with a similar color composition. You don't have to post my comment. Just got a kick out of the color similarity.
Welcome home. This is lovely. Vermont certainly looks beautiful, cool and still green. In Texas our greens have moved to a muted shade of dryness. Love the pop of fushia!!
Susan, I love the image of the tall thin tree trunks, catching the violet light. It reminds me of a French landscape; can you be finding France in Vermont?

Thanks for writing, Debbi. Yes, Vermont is beautiful this (and every other, in my opinion) time of year. We're right about to start a transition to a more mellow color in the landscape, along with hints of cooler weather in the air.
Glad you wrote, Linda--I appreciate your comments. Hard to believe that this green will be gone in a month with the arrival of autumn, replaced by a whole new palette of colors.

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".

This is a wonderful image, Susan, with the tall think trunks catching the violet light.

Thank you for writing, Steve. I enjoyed taking a look at your blog.

Wow! Love the colors you used. The purple is just awesome and your greens are beautiful. I like your composition, too.
Thanks for your two notes, Altoon. Since I'm teaching all day this week, my blog attention has suffered!
