I'm just getting caught up on my blog after the workshop, Linda and Altoon. Thanks to you both for writing! I'm glad you like this one. It started out a horizontal rectangle, but I kept cropping the sides down (as I often do with watercolors) to focus on the part that I thought had the strongest shapes.

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".

Susan, I really like the almost-geometric simplicity of this work. The light is beautiful too.
Wow - what a view! Lovely colors and you captured the changing sky beautifully. Well done!
