Linda Blondheim - From the Anxiety category:
I avoid general anxiety by focusing on the process of painting, not the end result. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Artists category:
Artists feel the need to be in control of their own lives. It's not just about money, but also a need for independence. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Business category:
It is easy to let the business end of art overwhelm the process of painting. Slowing down is necessary in order to regain balance and focus. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Choices category:
The decisive moment is not about finding the best view. It is somewhere in the actual painting process where critical decisions must be made. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Colour category:
I always lay out my color in the same way so I don't have to stop and search for the color I want. I press the paint out in long ribbons rather than blobs. It keeps the paint cleaner and less contaminated by other colors. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Commerce category:
I don't like commissions and rarely take them on because I cannot see what is in the buyer's mind and heart. What is precious to them is uninspiring to me. Paint what you love. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Culture category:
We are no longer dependant on what New York, Paris, Rome or L.A. says about culture and art. We have become both international and regional at the same time. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Exhibitions category:
The pressure of constantly showing work motivates me to paint every day. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Gender category:
There are a very few women painters on the national plein air level who have reached the pinnacle of success. It's still a man's world in that arena. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Gender category:
I would think it nearly impossible to be married to an artist who won't paint. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Goals category:
I stopped chasing my impossible goals, which were depressing me, and started refocusing on what I loved. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Hope category:
I've yet to complete a masterpiece but there is always hope. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Illusion category:
We have the illusion that working for ourselves means having lots of free time. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Keys category:
Maintaining a spirit of anticipation and joy are the key to success. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Plein-Air category:
Some plein-air painters take considerable time to find just the right spot to paint before settling down to work and others are painting in less than two minutes of arrival. Often, it is the painter who sets up immediately who does the best work. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Plein-Air category:
Plein-air painting is still an interpretation of reality, even though I am seeing the scene first hand. My 'truth' is far more interesting to me than the scene in reality. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Realism category:
Why can't modernist or contemporary work co-exist with realism? There seems to be little tolerance on either side. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Recognition category:
I realized I was never going to be a nationally recognized painter but that I could set the goal of being a successful regional painter. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Solitude category:
I paint with other painters all the time but my real study time is alone. I think it is necessary for a painter to be out in the elements alone to concentrate and think. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Success category:
Success is when I'm out on location and can pull off a decent painting. It's also when I can convince someone who is afraid, to put brush to canvas and feel the joy. (Linda Blondheim)
Linda Blondheim - From the Thinking category:
Painting is a lot about thinking. (Linda Blondheim)
