Susan, this watercolor is just a marvel. Beautiful simplification, distilling down to essences. Inventive color and abstraction of subject that still somehow "reads" as naturalistic.
Thank you for writing, Don, Martine and Sergio. I enjoyed very much sitting on the quay with my watercolors working on this, but as is so often true, had and have no idea what I think of the painting--other than it says for me something of what it was like to be sitting there on that October afternoon. So I appreciate your comments!

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".
