Thank you, Robin, glad you like this. Yes, I'd be delighted if you featured it. I'm going to put up the whole "Motel on 302" nine painting series and finished piece (the nine framed together) on Monday and Tuesday. If you want to wait for that,I can send you a link.
I'm finding that the way I'm using oils has been changed by so many years of working in watercolor, Liana. More direct color, no dark underpainting, and no neutral pigments. Also, I'm mixing color directly on the canvas. One big difference--after paint has dried, it is much easier to correct and adjust oils than watercolors!

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".
