Thanks for writing, all! I always travel with my sketchbook, but forget to pull it out when I'm at home. Being away reminds me that drawing is a great habit, as you say, Gillian!

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".

Very beautiful post!
Congratulations
What a great drawing! I admire how you can capture the feeling of the place so quickly! Great work!
You put such life into your sketch - you make me wish to get more into the sketching habit but I never can keep it up!
