"Power of the Ancients" Sold

Power of the Ancients was inspired by the Altamira Caves in Spain. Linda's work explores connections to shamans, prehistoric and historic global symbols. She plays with the picture plane allowing the viewer to decide if her marks are in front of or on top of the pictographs and petroglyphs that inspire the work. The oil on canvas painting is 40x36 inches. It was sold and beautifully framed at CFA Gallery, 916 Main Street, Louisville, Colorado. Buy Linda's work there and online at Available paintings. Thanks to Janet Russell and new collectors.

Spirit Messengers

Linda is working on a graphite series of Spirit Messengers. The studio is filling up with these 19"x24" pieces on bristol paper...and the positive energy from these incredible teachers. The wolf was thought of as a teacher in ancient times, a pathfinder, forerunner of new ideas, and a power ally of the moon. Linda doesn't know if there will be paintings emerge from this series, but, for now, the Spirit in the drawings is feeling terrific.

Works on Paper

For an artist a period of time for renewal, recuperation, incubation is followed by the excitement of the blank sheet of paper. Stay tuned.
