Well, it was cold out there! I intensified the darks when I returned home to the cottage--hard to get them intense enough when I am outside, I often find. Saw a great Hopper show at Bowdoin College on the way up here--talk about wonderful intense darks in watercolor!

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".

You are so intrepid, Susan. I love the piling up of shapes in the painting.
