Waiting in the morning outside Vernon's little grocery store, looking at the flotsam in the side yard, and waiting in the afternoon across the sidewalk at Munchies snack shop for my order of fish, salad and Kalik beer.
I enjoy your blog and check it frequently. Interesting to see the different formats, sketches & paintings. Especially the untypical, slice-of-life scenes from the Bahamas, like a little market or alleyway. I visited Eleuthera & Harbour Island, loved it!! Here's my sketch blog: http://bethbourland.wordpress.com/
Thanks, for your comments, all! I'll take a look at your blog, Beth. I agree, for me it's all of the out of the way places that make keeping a travel sketchbook so interesting.

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".
