Well, here we go! This is my first attempt at starting a blog. Please bear with me as I work out the details.
I am a Painter from the Pacific NW, near Seattle. I decided to begin this blog as a way of keeping what I am up to by documenting it. With photos, things that are happening in my art world, inspirations and tips and tricks that I have run across after painting for nearly thirty years.
I'll start by saying that I am a Hyper-realist, and currently working with oversize florals. I won't bother you here with listing education, show history, etc., because I want to keep this light and fun. I will be sharing things that are happening and where I'm at right now, so please feel free to ask questions or make comments. I appreciate your visits and will make a serious attempt to update this at least once a week. During that time I will share with you whatever curerent work in progress that I have going on. I hope you enjoy this, because I think that I will. A simple expression of what I am doing in the artworld...
The process of painting has always been so much more valuable to me than the completed product. I am always challenging myself with different subject matter, different painting mediums, different supports and so forth in an effort to keep my work fresh. In every work that I start, there will always be an element that I don’t quite understand. After nearly thirty years of painting I still feel I have much to learn, and will contiue to keep setting up the challenges.
Peace.
Linda
