This weekend I'm teaching a "Travel Sketchbook" class in Alexandria, and once again am reminded by the creative energy of my students that the world would be a happier place if more folks would draw, paint, and just generally make stuff.

This is lovely, Susan. I was bummed that my schedule would't accommodate this class this year. I thoroughly enjoyed it last year and learned a lot. You are a wonderful teacher.
I think this is a wonderfull blog. The work posted touches the souls as an artist.The creative process had always brought happiness and given me a feeling of accomplishment, self – satisfaction and contentment. Now I plan to successfully translate this passion into an exciting career and prays that this zeal for art can become a larger part of my life as I grow as an artist.

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".
