Summer 2024



Puffins, Iceland

  Puffins, walrus, whooper swans, roaring waterfalls, Spitsbergen reindeer, gannets, Icelandic horses, ptarmigan, snorkeling between the continental plates, the midnight sun. All of these were part of our recent trip to Iceland, Svalbard Norway, and the northern tip of Norway. I envision many elements from this May/June trip will be incorporated in future paintings of these far- flung lands.

News

Linda’s painting Taking Wing has received an Award of Merit in the 2024 NOAPS* Best of America Small Paintings International Exhibit.

A wild animal in a different setting - a place setting.
This gives me a chance to “stretch my brushes” as I haven’t painted any of these things before.

Spring 2024



Sandhill Cranes
Photo by Linda, February 2024
On our drive home from my show in Tulsa, OK (NatureWorks) we made the slight detour to the Platte River in Nebraska. There we were greeted by more than 200,000 sandhill cranes (count by the Crane Trust) as they stopped over on their way north. Impressive! It was hard to keep one’s eyes off of these magnificent birds, but I was thrilled to spot a pair of meadowlarks as we watched the cranes.

BUILDING A PAINTING
For a number of years I’ve wanted to paint a piece showcasing the landscape where the Pryor Mountain wild horses roam. Below you can see some of my photos in progress.
