I'm back home in Vermont , and chill winds blowing a few snowflakes are back, too. For my "warm-up" painting today I found these remnants from last year's garden.
Really like that you have the viewer looking down on the subject. Plus the shading is great. Very good indeed:) (oh dear, now I sound like a school teacher and should be scoring you 10/10) - sorry Susan, if it sounds a bit like that.
Not at all, Ann. Always hard to verbalize why we like a painting. That "looking down" is usually my perspective in a still life. I like the geometry of it. And I like bowls, and a bowl is most "bowl-like" seen this way, I think.

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".
