We are All Related

Linda continues to paint and draw Bison images and shares these thoughts. "The bison energy has captured me. It is as ancient as the rock art that I have been studying, and as contemporary as the New West. The Native American legends and the attitudes about the buffalo, and the meaning of the word "of the Earth"...it all has been captivating. I can't help but continue to express "We are All Related" with these images." See more available paintings, Click Here.

"Moving Forward" Moving

SOLD"Power Image #1-Moving Forward" was the first image of the Power Image Series. This piece is a 30"x40" oil on canvas, floated in a maple frame. Linda is thrilled this painting is headed to a new home in Florida. It always opens the heart for new work when a painting sells.

The Power Image Series began in 2006, as Linda settled into the Studio with the intention of adding deeper content to her work. Linda had finished and sold a piece painted for the Mahler Festival that now resides in the quiet reading room in the Louisville Library. Wanting to transition from landscape, Linda spent time in meditation. During the meditation the image of the running horse came to her as a metaphor for Spirit. Eleven paintings followed, and the "Connection to Ancestors" Series emerged from "Power Image #7". See the series in it's entirety click here, or for available paintings click here.

Pop up First Friday Fun

The weather broke and we had a mild First Friday in the Louisville Arts District, and a sunny warm Saturday for the Pop up event. Thanks to all who came by 915 Walnut. It is a beautiful space, and all four artists (see below) looked great! Thanks for good conversations and for positive reinforcement on the paintings. "I looked and I saw a white horse..." was debuted.  Also shown was "Connection to Ancestors" from the Power Image Series. It was the first painting to start me thinking about cave and rock art. "Mystery Beings" continues my exploration that expanded into Native American Legends and Southwest Rock Art studies.
