Artist Statement

It is the beauty of Godʼs magnificent artistry in the world around me that inspires me to paint. I love light. It transforms the mundane into the spectacular. I stand in awe. Colors, rhythmic patterns, and beautiful form perform as if dancing to unheard music. This is what I try to capture in my artwork. It brings me great joy and purpose in life to birth on canvas those things which stir my soul.

I love rhythmic, well-designed compositions with a lot of ʻfood for the eyeʼ. I am a representational painter by choice. I feel that my affinity towards realism enhances the message I am trying to convey. Concept and design are paramount, but by offering complex compositions, full of detail, the eye can keep traveling around the painting discovering something new every step of the way.

Gift of Life

AuthorLinda Tompkin


I am pleased to announce that my painting, "Gift of Life", will be showing at the Versailles Words In Red Art Exhibit summer of 2021.

The theme for the show is "Words in Red".  The paintings must be based on any statement that Jesus made with a Scripture reference from the New King James or New International Version of the Bible.

The following passage from Matthew 26:26-28 is the Scripture that I based this painting on.

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to His disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is My body."  Then He took a cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you.  This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."
