Last night I found myself stuck on I-95, below Philly, in 15 mph traffic, wishing I had my sketchbook. I, too, enjoy all aspects of how you use such a variety of mediums to express your art, Susan.
Thanks so much for writing, Joan and William. When I was a kid, my mother always said, "Take your book" when we went out to run errands, as she knew it would keep me from whining during her long visits to the fabric or grocery store. Now I always keep a sketchbook and pens in my car, on the same principle. I find myself hoping that the interminable traffic jam or wait in the doctor's office is prolonged still further, so I can finish my sketch!

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".
