Art By Linda
An Idaho artist, who is inspired by the beauty of nature and wildlife.
I started with pencil drawings as a young girl. Horses were always my favorite subjects, I loved the wildness and freedom of their beauty. I could sit and watch them for hours on end.
The big cats have since taken hold of my heart. So wild, full of life, so powerful and yet so gentle with their loved ones. Many, like the Amur Leopard are on the endangered species list.
I find myself wanting to paint anything in nature that I find beauty in. My eyes wandered as we travel, storing the memories, hoping that I can recreate that memory on canvas or paper.
In 2007 I started painting and have since fallen in love with it. I enjoy a variety of mediums Watercolors, Oils and Acrylics and the qualities that each have.

Sand Dollar Art
But it also inspires this artist to paint. I love the unique form and texture it provides as a backdrop for my paintings.
I hope you will enjoy the Sand Dollars below.
Reflections of the Setting Sun
About Reflections of the setting Sun
When I am at the ocean, I am always amazed at the beauty that I see around me.
The light play on the water has always fascinated me. The way the Sun shimmers upon it's surface.
The beauty of the reflections of the boats in a harbor.
This was painted after visiting a harbor in Crescent City, California.

About the Girl watching the Ocean on the beach
I can sit for hours and hours, watching and listening to the waves crash against the shore, the gulls and pelicans flying diving for fish.
The setting sun send an invitation better than the best movies I have seen.
There is something so beautifully moving about sitting on the beach, on the Oregon Coast and taking in it's beauty.
For me it is a religious feeling of awe, for all the beauty that our creator shares with us. For he is the greatest artist of all!

~A Creek~
Inspired by the memories of this artist of fishing at Wikiup Creek, near Bear Idaho in her younger days with her husband. The call of the pair of hawks that always flew over head. My husband, always the comedian named one of them Bigka. There were always chipmunks and beavers building their dams. These are wonderful memories of simple times in the quiet forest catchng pan size brook trout.

~Sunset Waves~
My favorite place to spend time is the oregon coast. It is where I would love to retire. I love watching the sunset over the ocean!

~White Beauty~
My love of horses has stayed with me over the years, content now to just watch them from a distance. Yet I can still remember with fond memory the smell of the horse, the leather of the saddles and hay. The warm feeling of their skin. So gentle yet strong they are.

Northern Light Series No. 13
"Snow Light, So Bright"
The Northern Light Series was created because of my love of the phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis.
Northern lights, or aurora borealis, are actually caused by solar wind colliding with air molecules in the earth's atmosphere.
The results are spectacular!
