Feature Artist
Linda Payne
Oil Painter
Linda is an oil painter whose palettes range from vibrant colors to soft harmonies. Impressionistic realism is her favorite style of painting, though she enjoy the rhythm and flow of impasto painting with palette knives and other tools.
Linda was indirectly influenced to paint all her life. Hiking, skiing and fly-fishing in gorgeous country in and near the national parks inspired her love of nature and the outdoors. Many of her landscape paintings originated from those memorable scenes. Vacations in the Midwest with nieces and nephews provided her with captured moments on camera of children at play and in thought that inspired later paintings. Over the years she expanded her range and paint nearly all subject matters including abstract.
