Its been a long time since I have posted what I am
working on. I have been super busy moving into a new
home and all that that entails. But I am back at the
easel and doing some really neat experiments with
new mediums. Here is one one my experiment boards. When
I am experimenting, I let process and
curiosity
take me in any direction. I am playing with
copper and silver metals, polymers, dyes etc. I
have a look in my mind that I am trying to
achieve. I tag my experiments with post it notes
so I can remember what I have done. After
playing around for about a month, its time to
try a study with my new inspiration and mediums

I have just
completed a little study of a water lily from my
experiments. I have laid down a silver and
copper metal underlay and then created layers of
intense beautiful colors on top. The
metals under the paint glint and sparkle like
glass on fire. Depending on the angle of the light, the piece
seems to dance with changing colors. Next I plan
to do a larger painting with water lilies for my
new home.
I love the serendipitous nature of this
process. In the background water portion, the
paint flows and goes where it wants to. The
effects are not seen until the next day when it
its dry. When I lay down the polymers and
pigments, everything is opaque white and then
the color emerges over the next 12 hours
or so . its a great metaphor for letting go of
control, just hold on loosely (38 Special, do ya remember it?)

April 19 .2012 I have just
completed a 12" x 24" painting of my waterlilies.
It truly is hard to convey on the web how
intense and dynamic these colors are and how
they charge, shift and sparkle in the light.
Candlelight is amazing on it too
You can
purchase the 12" x 24" painting for
$699.00. I am also planning on creating a 36" x
36" version of it.

About these original works of art
American Artist Linda Paul uses natural crushed stone & earth mixed with a bit of water and egg yolk to make her paint. Blues come from crushed lapis lazuli, greens from malachite & natural green earth found around Verona Italy. She uses fascinating colors which have been "lost" for hundreds of years and new colors which she has discovered in the Rocky Mountains. Her earth ochres come from the ancient open pit mines of
Rousillon France. Her artwork is both beautiful and luminous. These Paintings will last for centuries!

Why Buy Original art? Some people may ask, "why buy original art when you can buy a nice print". Several reasons, simply put, the original is just far more beautiful. Its also one of a kind. This beauty does not translate as well in the digital world. Another reason is that the original captures the soul of the artist, what the artist is feeling when they are creating the piece can tangibly be felt in an original artwork. Of course the original is far more valuable and usually increases in value. You should buy original art because you love it! It will enrich your life.
