Small Edens by Artist Linda Garcia-Dahle
Entrance/Main Street
"Painting light in all its manifestations and putting them on a canvas is what being an artists means to me. The way a deep glazing of oil color produces a depth to shadows and the light falling through them that is not easily created through other methods. I enjoy the challenge of producing color, shadow and light in their transient states when painting. I try and instill this in scenes from nature, but also personally known areas that imbue a sense of serenity, shelter, a hideaway, or a quiet place. I strive to duplicate all this in the play of light and the emotion I feel when observing it; to capture a mood as it were, and then be able to share it with the viewer. Painting is a form of sharing a part of myself with others"
