This panel was painted in the meadow under the hill--a glacial ridge that gives this land character, and sense of having many varied, private places to explore.
Thank you, Davida! I appreciate your comments. I think this is more gestural because it was painted outside, and the more stylized--maybe its that they're more simplified into color shapes--are painted in the studio. I have more of these to post--need to put a second session into a few of them.

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".

Beautiful painting. I love your blog, it is one of my favorites!
Thank you, Alicia, glad you're here!
I love the gestural quality of this. I love your more stylized work too, but I find this particularly appealing.
