Merci, Martine and Hani Hani. Yes, this is a watercolor. I decided to paint without a preliminary pencil drawing, just using the brush, and trying to keep the shadows dark enough yet luminous. Mostly a triad of quinacridone coral, quinacridone gold, and ceruleun blue--with some alizarin crimson and cobalt blue added at the end.

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".

Is it watercolour?
Stunnning! I like your style.
Un merveilleux travail de jeu de lumière et d'ombre... Vos couleurs sont aussi délicieuses... me croyez-vous si je vous dis que j'entends les cigales ?!...
Gros bisous.
