Sketches like this have an immediacy not found in a finished painting. Which do you prefer? This sketch is unusual for me, because I left the pencil shading to show the clouds, rather than covering them with pen or paint.

As we were leaving North Carolina to come to Vermont, a friend said she yearned to see a loon. I promised to paint one. Loons spend their summers on lakes all over New England.

What could be more Vermont than a red barn and cows?

This is the kind of weather where we dream of scenes like this.
