It is an exhilarating adventure.  Linda has been busy in the Studio during the process, and she is focused and painting. She has continued  her exploration of rock art and the Ute tribe in Colorado, and has been working on 4 or 5 smaller paintings and 2 larger paintings.

Armantrout's Painting Installed at Elk Creek Ranch

At the confluence of the free stone White River and the spring creek fishery of Elk Creek, a spectacular Village has been created. The interiors of the Lodge and other buildings of the Village at Elk Creek Ranch have been designed by Rodney Briggs of Ralph Lauren Home Collection. Linda Armantrout's painting "Connection to Ancestors II" 67"x88" was chosen by Mr. Briggs, to be installed in June, 2011 at the first residence built in Elk Creek Ranch. Pictures to come soon!

Armantrout Paints LARGE

With encouragement from Jerry Allen Gilmore to paint larger, I started in the fall of 2008, to create a rigging that would allow me to paint a 67"x88" in my Studio. I bought the widest raw canvas available by roll in Denver. Then Kathy Davis at Davis Tent & Awning sewed seams on the sides and at top and bottom with room for rods.  I devised a pulley system with clothes line that I could attach to both ends of the top rod and then tie to the railing. Then I was able to lower the piece to the family room level behind the piano to paint it. It was simpler and safer than scaffolding.
