Linda Hunt

New work.....revisiting some lessons from Dennis Perrin classes......this reminds me of the song from long long ago.....they brought her tea and oranges that came all the way from China.....does anyone remember? I remember the night vividly.... I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. —Maya Angelou

Reworked this painting and am greatly pleased with the result.When do you know when a painting is done.  I used to have an instructor in school that said "when a painting breathes on its own...you know the painting is done."  I think you can just feel it when it is complete........... The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart. Helen Keller

Yes, one more revision and now I am truly happy..........................................!

Look familiar?  Yeah I couldn't stand the other painting as I was trying something that just didn't quite work out.  I am more comfortable with the changes that I have made.....

  20"X20" Oil Stretched Canvas   $800.00 I enjoyed this painting.  It is larger than any I have worked on recently.  It is much more challenging for me to work large because I use more paint and there is so much more surface to paint.  I love the freedom of big strokes though.

    12" X 12" $200.00 For Sale On Etsy   I used a limited palette for this painting and had a ball.  It works so much better to have organization before I begin to paint.   $200.00 plus $15.00 shipping   Below is my palette:     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   :   These are several limited palettes that I will try.

  12" X 12"  $125.00 For Sale On Etsy     I used a very limited palette for this painting.  Sarah Sedwick posted a palette called the Zorn Palette that consisted of Titanium White, Ivory Black ( this was the black I chose), Cadmium Red, and Yellow Ochre.  I loved the nearly full range of colors that you could achieve.  I will paint this still life next with a palette that I usually use.   $125.00 plus 15.00 shipping  

6X6 $100 Available on my Etsy site   This painting is a treasure hunt.  There is an orange, a pear, and a red bird...can you see them?  It has been coming for some time now that I wanted I really wanted to do was to  just let loose and play with color and shape with an indication of form.  This is the result.  It was glorious to enjoy every stroke of paint!

In this painting I wanted to tackle reflection as well as transparency. I found that it was more difficult than I imagined to get a good believable reflection. It took many wipe outs before I achieved what I wanted. I have so many oranges. They were given to my husband and they do make good subjects to paint. This painting is 8X8 inches on canvas panel.
