"We recently purchased 3 of your paintings (2 originals & 1 print) and we are extremely pleased with all of them. The colors are extremely vibrant & add so much character to the rooms in which they hang. The website photos looked great but when the real things arrived, we were overwhelmed by the quality. We're already scouting around the house to see where we can add some additional paintings to bare walls! Diane and Bob Moseley, Arnold, MD " read more customer comments
 

We received the painting today.  We love it!  It is, of course, beautiful. Many thanks. Your work is wonderful.  It must be awesome to have such a talent.  Joel Williamsen Clifton, VA

Linda's Art Tips
How to Pick the Right Size Artwork for your Wall
Do you have a bare wall and don't know what size of poster, print, or painting to buy? Here's a great tip. Take a piece of colored wrapping paper or newspaper and cut it to the size you think the artwork should be and tape it to your wall. You will see instantly if it suits the space and should be either bigger or smaller. This also works when trying to choose a  size for a kitchen backsplash.

Move Your Art Around
Have you had the same pictures hanging in the same place, on the same walls for years? Just by hanging your art work in different places you can create an entirely new look for your home. If you need a new print at a bargain price, check out my Canvas Art on Sale

Art and Painting Tips:

Color Tip:  When starting a painting, keep a very limited color palette. Pick one or two key colors and then build the rest of your colors around those key ones. In my rooster and sunflower painting above, my key colors are the teal blue in the tail feathers and the bright red. All the other colors are limited and complimentary to these two main colors.  Resist the temptation to introduce a brand new color once you are well into the painting. This way  the painting will have a singular mood and cohesive look. less is more

Remember , its not the color itself that gives life to a painting, its the color that you put next to it that does.

An editing eye: One of the best things you can do once you are well into the painting, its to move it around the room to get a different perspective. If you paint flat on a table, put it on an easel and look at it from farther away. 

Reproduction:   If you are planning to reproduce the artwork into prints or 2d images, take a digital shot of it and print it out to see how it looks. You will see things that you otherwise miss just looking at the painting on the easel.  Things are important in reproduction that don't really come into play if you are just selling your original.  Original art has the soul of the artist, whereas a reproduction usually has to pop more, so you may usually want to increase your contrast.  if you sell your art on the web, also see how the works looks on you computer screen . Again you will see new things that may need editing.
