About the Process
Linda uses her extensive photo collection of animals, flowers, landscapes and more as references for paintings and drawings. She paints in her home studio with National Public Radio as her companion. Sometimes she is also joined by one of her much-loved cats. Linda explains, "I paint on a variety of surfaces, usually linen or Gessoed boards. I prefer Gamblin oil paints from Portland, Oregon, because the company strives to reduce the toxicity of their products for both the artists and the environment. I paint very slowly, sometimes taking one to two months or more to complete a painting. My goal each day is to paint for at least two hours and I meet or exceed it more days than not. I find creating art work to be restful and contemplative.
