Daffodil Ladies

Spring is a beautiful time of the year when all the flowers burst open to show off their beauty. Did you know Daffodils are the national flower of Wales, the country where I was born and are a special flower to me.

The ultimate spring flower, they symbolize rebirth and hope and are resilient, strong little flowers that survive throughout winter and are ready to pop up as soon as the days start getting longer.

These daffodil ladies were picked from my garden, placed in a vase and painted to bring joy. Using watercolor, ink, and acrylic they present themselves in a quality matted, wooden frame and will brighten up any day. With a watercolor background and acrylic and ink flower heads the striking color combination is one of a kind. Framed artwork with double matt is shown in thumbnail, although photo was taken inside with a warm light true color in actual large photo unframed.

Welcome! I enjoy painting a diverse range of art at my Blue Mountains Studio and Gallery drawing inspiration from the stunning surroundings and its abundance of flora and fauna. My aim is to inspire and bring joy, taking the ordinary and enhancing detail, light and form.

My animals are expressive and quirky at times and my landscapes evoke a sense of tranquility. With delicate, layered brushwork they lend a sense of vitality and depth.

Beginning my art journey in 2008 I started with fantasy watercolors that soon became a channel for expressing my emotions, leaning towards light in the darkness. I quickly became a prolific painter experimenting with different mediums and painting a variety of art, and it felt like I had finally met my inner, creative spirit. My dream of owning my own studio/gallery became a reality in 2012 and to this day I still enjoy meeting and selling to many art lovers.

I participate in a range of group exhibitions, when I can, and have held a variety of successful solo shows. I'm very honored to have gained a number of awards over the years, winning the prestigious Rose Lindsay Art Prize at Blue Mountains Art Fest and won First Prize at BMCAN's NSW Parliament House Exhibition for 'Winter in the Blue Mountains', along with People Choice Awards and Highly Commended. I'm delighted that many of my paintings continue to be held in private and public collections worldwide, along with commissioned art products.

Thank you so much for taking the time to view my art.

With my very best wishes

Linda
