January blues become full spectrum color.

"Peace of Earth"January is always such a strange month in the Studio. After the holidays, Linda is more than ready to get back in process, but of course, there is information to be gathered and taxes to be filed. This year, Linda took the first 2 weeks to make art. Here is a piece, 19x24 inches oil on paper. It is finished, but not available until professionally photographed. Other work on paper is in progress. The future seems to include many more Buffalo images and offerings on paper.

Finished Paintings

Armantrout Studio will add 2 paintings finished in Fall, 2012 to the Available Paintings page. The first is titled Of the Earth and is the first painting of a Series to be developed using the American Bison as an icon. The Final painting, of 2012, is titled Spirit Horses and continues to connect Armantrout's marks to the sacred and ancient marks of rock and cave art.

Cave Paintings

Working with the layering of images to play with the ideas coming from the rock art and cave paintings, has led Linda to experiment with mixing media. No real outcomes yet, but some thoughts about images on top of images and whether the layering in the caves holds more energy because one artist/shaman drew on top of another's work. Linda continues to be intrigued and has been drawing as often as painting. First Saturday was highly charged in Louisville last night with great art at Creative Framing Art Gallery. Colorado Artseen spent time with Janet Russell last week and the arts community was thrilled to have Kirk Norlin visit the Louisville Arts District. If you visit, you will find great art and gifts at affordable prices.

Gratitude for Movement

Movement of ideas, then focus, then paint, or draw, and you keep the energy moving.  The joy of making art. Work is being shown at Creative Framing Art Gallery through November or at the Studio by appointment through the Holidays. New paintings are posted in Available Paintings. 

Giclee Prints pleasing Artist and Buyers

36x24 inch Giclee Print, "Rough God Comes Riding"Linda Armantrout is extremely pleased with the giclee print technology and craftsmanship that she has experienced at Infinite Editions. Ron Landucci is a craftsman and has a sensitivity to color that is necessary to the discriminating artist and buyer. Jimmy Sellars recommended Ron to Linda, and she is thrilled with the quality of the prints produced. Color and shape are what the painter has to offer. Linda waited for inks and technology to catch up to her ability with color, before offering Limited Editions of 25 of selected images. If you have seen an image that has been sold, or you would like a piece that fits your budget better than an original, consider a giclee. The Giclee sold was a Christmas gift from a client to her daughter so a surrogate was posted earlier. Here is the real deal.
