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.

Catch the Wave

AuthorLinda Tompkin

The title of this painting is "Catch the Wave".

 This is the second painting that was accepted into the Kaleidoscope Show at Summit Artspace.

Some of the Japanese calligraphy on the side panels stand for the words love, joy, peace and hope.  I have included other Christian symbols in this painting to depict the theme of catching the wave of the Spirit.

 

 

Here is a picture of me working on this new painting.
