Wait Watchers SOLD

This one is from one of my recent demos;

'Victoria artist Linny D. Vine will

be demonstrating the steps that she takes

in creating a "Linnyland landscape"...

She will show how she combines colour, composition,

light, and imagination to create her paintings.

Linny's distinctive painting style

colours her urban and landscape scenes

with a magical mix of joy and light.

Whether painting in studio or en plein air,

Linny skillfully combines spirit of place

with her uniquely expressive brushwork

to create paintings of happiness.

The Rescue SOLD

This painting was inspired

by Margaret and Rutledge Park.

I met Margaret about 60 moons ago

during a summer art event where she suggested I visit

Rutledge Park in Saanich,

she thought the park might be inspiration for a painting.

A few moons later, on a sunny afternoon, I enjoyed an

ice cream cone visit to the special little Saanich park.

As well as a pink elephant named Rutley the park has,

at it's centre, a large and beautiful weeping willow tree.

There's a path to stroll all around the willow tree

and along the outer edge of the path there is a garden bed

with six large stones evenly spaced among the flowers.

Each stone is engraved with a section of a"stone poem"

that describes little bits of the park's history including

things like when the fields of the farm flooded

and the chickens had to be saved.

And now, 57 or 58 moons (or there about) since,

the imagery from my visit to Rutledge park inspired

this little Linnyland painting.

(Margaret, thank-you, you were right!)
