Linda…Watercolor, Acrylic, and Pastel Artist
Pinterest has been the source
of inspiration
for many of my
Summer Art Show 2020 paintings.
Here’s an example:
Pinterest photo…
My painting…
It’s 18 x 24 inches.
It’s one of 30 paintings
that will be part
of my Summer Art Auction.

My neighbor (a new friend & gardener)
challenged me to create a painting
for the Summer Art Show 2020
with chamomile, poppy, and lavender flowers.
She had given me a start of several herbs,
including chamomile,
so how could I refuse?
I painted it several weeks ago,
but it just wasn’t right.
(This photo was taken with a filter
which makes it lighter and pinker than the painting.)
I worked on the flowers many times,
and I was about to paint over the whole thing…
then…
I showed my friend, Val;
she said to change the vase.
I did.

Due to the pandemic and a few other reasons…
I have changed my Summer Art Show 2020!
The event has been divided into two parts:
* The Summer Art Show 2020… (Click on it for details!)
where you can come see my 30 paintings displayed outside, and
see what I’m doing with gardening this summer (if you care;).
AND
* The Summer Art Auction 2020 (Click on it for details!)
I found an online auction company that I really like,
so if you are interested in checking it out,
you can click on the link that I have here,
(that link will be many places;).
The money you spend on a painting
(minus the 5% fee for the auction company,
plus credit card fees)
will support the organization that you choose.
I hope you come to the show;
I’d love to meet you.
And if you love one of my paintings,
I hope you’ll take a chance
and bid on it!

I can only have 25 people
at my Summer Art Show 2020
which is not a problem if 25 people or less
are planning to come,
but if 50 people want to come
then I have a problem to fix.
Therefore,
I need to get a count.
If you plan to attend, please click on this:
I’m planning to attend the show,
and if you’re planning to bid by phone click on this:
More information coming soon…
and better photos of my art, too!!

Our house looked like this:
Those chairs on the right were shaded
by a giant oak (see the high branches?)
When that tree crashed into our roof (last summer)
leaving our front yard barren and shade-less
it was time to create a plan…
that combined what I had long wanted:
a pond (with fish!), an inviting front porch,
a vine covered pergola, and a cottage garden.
I sketched my ideas so Rick could see what I envisioned
and convinced him that we could do it… in stages;)
We started digging this week!
I’ll keep you posted on our progress!
Don’t forget my Summer Art Show 2020 is in August!

I am super excited about
my Summer Art Show 2020!
It will be at my house,
in this yard…
2 Sunny Drive
Ona, WV
on Saturday, August 22 at 3:00
To make it more fun,
each painting will be auctioned
like they do at fancy art houses…
And ALL proceeds will go to
one of these great causes (purchaser picks):
* Hilary Turner’s campaign fund
(She’s running for Congress to help solve the climate crisis!)
* Huntington’s Food Bank
*Local animal shelter
Here’s another fun part:
Everyone attending will receive a present,
and you do NOT have to purchase art…
Just come for the FUN…
And bring a friend, a lawn chair and a mask!!
The auction starts at 4:00, and
arrangements will be in place for
a FB live event & out-of-town bidding…
(details on that coming soon)!

Last fall I painted
The Herd.
Here’s a link to the back story.
Recently, Judy at Wildflower Gift Gallery
asked me to put it on a pillow,
so I did.
These are BIG pillows: 26″ x 20″
I ordered them from the Canadian company,
Art of Where;
the quality of their materials and workmanship
is excellent.
You can purchase The Herd pillow cover here,
OR
Soon, you can purchase the pillow cover with a pillow insert
at the Wildflower Gift Gallery at The Market.

The “We Are Marshall” tote bags are on backorder,
and I only have a few Old Main tote bags left.
My post about the company making
my Huntington pillows and Marshall tote
bags is here.
I realized the quality of their products
when the pillows came in,
so I reordered the tote bags
before I had even seen them!
When they arrived I was thrilled:
as my husband, Rick, says,
“It looks like you painted right on the fabric.”
The tote bags are made of heavy canvas;
but there’s a choice of fabric in the pillows:
Upholstery canvas (super heavy)
and Upholstery velveteen (heavy but soft).
Pillows are on backorder, too
but Wildflower Gift Gallery, and
Red Caboose did have a couple.

I have added new payment options
for purchasing on my website…
PayPal was the only choice,
and not everyone has a PayPal account.
Silly me.
Now if you want to pay with a credit card,
I can send you an invoice via email,
or you can send me a check by mail.
Just fill out the form
on the page of the product
you want to order,
and tell me in the message box
how you want to pay.
