The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria's 26th Annual Moss Street Paint-In was divine!

 40,000 plus attend the AGGV 26th Annual Moss Street Paint-In 2013
"Welcome to Linnyland!!" 

# 9 is D. Vine!! 

Linny with new Linnyland Collector!!

The combined effects of Mercury Retrograde
and July's Full Buck Moon
helped make it the best Paint-in ever! 

Stationed in the dappled shade 

near to the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria,

 surrounded by fellow artist friends

 and perfect weather! 

Thank-you to Mary-ellen and everyone

 at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria

 plus the many, many, many volunteers,

 the new and old friends, Linnyland Collectors,

 art lovers and amazing homeowners

 of Moss Street, including dear Dave & Heather

 who kindly shared their home

 and their homemade pizza

 for an "end-of- the-Paint-In-perker-upper"!

"City Centre" SOLD

This is another painting commissioned

 by the Downtown Victoria Business Association. 

I wandered round and round the perimeter of Victoria's Bay Centre 

and chose this view of the large centre, 

(from Douglas Street and View Street). 

As you can see, in Linnyland, the tree foliage

 was ahead of season

 and turned this scene to 

the golden city center.

"Red Clouds"

From a May evening at Highrock Park 

Linnyland painting adventure.

While I painted there was a group

 of costumed "youngers" playing a 

pretend-world game, the one 

player that I saw the most, and that I saw the most of,

 was costumed in a variety of faux fur bits.
Linnyland meets ? world!!

Linnyland Cover of Monday Magazine!!

"Local artist Linny D. Vine doesn't see the world the same way
 as the rest of us. In Linnyland, buildings dance, and colour, shape and light
 combine to create a feeling of bliss for all who set eyes upon it. 

Life is good in Linnyland. 

This special, vibrant world is a reflection
 of the minds' eye of local artist Linny D. Vine, a celebrated painter
 represented by galleries across North America. 

You can read more about Vine in Monday's Summer Guide."

New Moon & Lighthouse

Only four more days

 until Winter Solstice...and then the return

 of the LIGHT!

(According to Linny-Lore,

 it's tradition to celebrate Winter Solstice

in this way: write a list of what 

you'd like to leave behind along with the darkness, 

then write another list of what you'd like to welcome into

your life along with the return of the light.)

And speaking of light, here is the Brockton Point Lighthouse,

 in Stanley Park,  in Vancouver BC, 

in LINNYLAND!!

Downtown Date SOLD

This one started (way back in July) when the

 Art Gallery of Greater Victoria invited me

 to participate in their first ever Paint-In the Square, 

(in honor of the city of Victoria's 150th Anniversary).

The event's on site coordinator and all round fantastic guy,

 Ben Fast, recorded his take on the day here .

The building in this painting is Victoria's City Hall, 

which is beside the "Paint-In the Square's", 

Centennial Square. As I painted the building
 these two figures appeared on the canvas.

(Linnyland paintings evolve to include 

whatever shows up on the canvas while I paint.)

 And, I just learned that beautiful Melanie listened carefully

 as I explained how this sort of thing occurs in 

Linnyland paintings, with her kind words she has

 described it here . 
I love her description,"heart-centered", 

which has me thinking of how fortunate

 I am to enjoy heart connections

 with art blog buds like you!

To all of you on my blog roll, 

(and others who check in here)

 thank-you for your blog budness,

 your heart connections

 and your beautiful art, too!
