The Art of

 

"Birch Basket" is an excellent example of Linda's use of texture and mood. Her strong use of colour and detail brings the rugged basket, and its contents, to life. The viewer is inspired with a renewed respect for nature.

"Frank's Boot" is another example of Linda's use of texture and mood. Here her lively use of colour and detail finds beauty in a nostalgic boot, reborn as a flower pot on the doorstep of an enchanted cottage. The contrast between the aged boot, with a shoelace flowing like a tear, and the virbant new life of the flowers, sets up a dramatic tension that that gives the painting its considerable power.

"Rain" captures a tender but conflicted moment in the life of a young bird. Alone and fragile in the vastness of nature the bird is unprotected from the pouring rain. However it is a warm rain bringing the forest back to life after a long cold winter and the chickadee is one nature's earliest symbols of the return of spring.

"OlympicGold2006" celebrates the Gold Metal win of the Canadian Women's hocky team in 2006. Their backs drapped with the flags of Canada and Italy, the women stand in joy as the Canadian anthum is played.
