Linda Hunt

12" X 12" $200.00   For Sale On Etsy   I am on a journey that includes immediacy, gesture, and feeling.  I am striving for a strong impression much as the impressionists did.  I want to imply form and concentrate on the abstract.   $200.00 plus $15.00 shipping         This is my drawing (sketch) for day 6.  This is my dog Sadie sleeping with me. 

6" X 6"  $100.00 For Sale On Etsy    I pushed and pulled this painting and I am unsure at this point whether I made a break through or whether I lost control.  I wanted to break free of defining every object in the still life and deal more with color and abstract form. $100.00 plus $10.00 shipping  

  Day 5 of my 30 days of drawing.  I loved this jar of BIG olives and want to do a painting also.  The Derwent pencils I am using are wash pencils but I decided not to apply water to this drawing because I liked the way that it was coming along.

  This is a sketch that I have done with the intent to one day do a painting.  This is a friend of mine.

I continue to work from the book that I bought on exercises for painters in color.  Here are some of the compliments that the book advises.

Continuing with drawings ... day 3 of 30 days.  I bought this pretty little tea cup with birds yesterday and am going to try and get a really good drawing of it.  The top one is a 10 to 15 minute sketch and the bottom one is a sketch that took about an hour.  I like the energy of the first one and will work on the refined cup more in another drawing.  It feels good to draw...it has been a while.

  8X6 125 For Sale On Etsy This is an image taken at the Farmer's Market in Cincinnati several years ago . I found this image on Etsy and the owner was kind enough to let me work from it. I want to do this in paint.  

    Last night I did 2 lino cuts from a photo of a rose that I took.  I like them both.  The bottom one came out very abstract but I like the shapes.  The top one is pretty straight forward.  Lots of fun to do.  I will continue working from the book that I am working from on color, but I also want to complete a drawing a day for the next 30 days.

  8X6   100 For Sale On Etsy SOLD    Here is the finished painting of the woman bathing.  I haven't painted that many people and find that I really enjoy it.  You will be seeing more figures in my work!  This painting was painted on canvas paper.  What I like about canvas paper is that the paint glides on very easily.  It has a fairly smooth texture.

  8" X 10" $175.00 For Sale On Etsy   Well, my desire in this painting was to paint with HOT colors which is unusual for me.  It was difficult to get used to the intensity of the color.  There was enough about the painting that I like when finished that I decided to keep it. $175.00 plus $12.00 shipping

      10X8   150 For Sale On Etsy   These peaches from Chile are very sweet and succulent.  They brought a delicious warmth to a gray and rainy day.  In this painting I experimented with Zinc White and Titanium White.  I wanted a cool background to offset the warmth of the peaches and used the Zinc White and Prussian Blue.  In the foreground I used Titaium White with Cadmium Yellow to bring in warmth to the lighted areas. I am gaining control over my decision making and that gives me confidence.  This item is for sale ONLY to continental (lower 48) United States customers.

8X8 SOLD   I love painting grapefruit!  They are always so fresh and alive with color.  In this painting I used    Zinc White because it is a cool white.  I helped to cool the warms and create a cool palette. This item is for sale ONLY to continental (lower 48) United States customers.
