Looking at the same land day after day is a lesson in how much a landscape is altered by what's happening in the sky--in this case, a cloud cover that flattens color and shape.

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 like how the curving brushstrokes mimic the lay of the tilled land in this one.
Thanks, RH. like that pattern of mown hay you get in the fields this time of year.
Very good! I like your work, makes me think a little of Hopper..

Wonderful, Susan. Love the simplified volumes and interlocking forms.
Glad you like this, Don and Yvonne. I'm hoping to get outside when the sun starts shing again--and before autumn comes--to finish this series.
