Hi Everyone,

Well it's been a year I think since I've posted a painting! I hope everyones' doing fine - sorry as always not to contribute much.

Thing's are busy and I still love my job.


This is Nicole and Chipper. Each painting is 22" x 30".

Linda,

Wonderful pieces. I am so taken with the overall size (seems much smaller than usual for you?), and the resulting freshness, without losing accuracy.

[Linda Nelson]

Thanks Chris -

I so enjoyed working smaller, and it was fun to have a client who wanted less detail. As I get more comfortable painting in general, I am having fun exploring techniques and ideas but in subtle journey. I hope to get time this spring to paint for myself and do paintings that work harder at having fresh strokes.

Linda,

How nice to have that kind of client! I'm so impressed with the way you capture the colors and textures of nature, and the color transitions and skin tones of the children. Thanks for posting the close-ups because it's a real treat to see your brushwork and variety of colors in a small area.

It seems to me your in love with impressionism. These ones and the ones you posted are very beautiful and I liked the way they were done!

[Linda Nelson]

Thanks Alexandra ! Yes Claude! I am trying to blend Norman Rockwell and Mary Cassatt ideologically and stylistically . I think also that impressionism lends itself in style to themes which celebrate everyday life. It got nobility in it's simplicity and frankness of technique, which complements the same in the subject matter.
