Transformation, Transcendence, Transfiguration

Linda Armantrout will be showing paintings at the Vista Grande Public Library in Eldorado during the month of May, 2024. The work you will see emerged from her exploration of the three concepts in the heading. She realizes she is trying to describe the ineffable and loves every moment of trying.

Since moving to New Mexico, the content of her work has evolved with her deepening of feelings about transitions. The subject matter of the work has changed by living with the landscape and wildlife of New Mexico. The colors have changed with the extraordinary light and magnificent night skies of Eldorado.

The paintings you will see at the Vista Grande Public Library Show in May are oil on canvas. Linda often uses cold wax, oil pastels, or oil sticks to enhance the communication. Color is Linda's primary element, and she uses intensity of color to make a point. Line and gesture are also important ways to tell what is in her heart.

The Eldorado Studio Tour is the main event of the business year. Armantrout Studio welcomes art lovers into the studio and home gallery for rich conversations about art. New Mexico has brought many new friends and collectors. Old friends, new friends, and collectors visit from out of state.
