Linda says, “As a child, I went to a small pond to see what was coming alive there. I‘d scour the perimeters and try to catch frogs. Now, decades later, I realize it's probably watching those frogs that taught me how to sit very still, so I can paint, and listen more deeply, and only move when I need to. When I look upon this scene, today, it reminds me to choose peace, that’s it, plain and simple, or 'plein air' and simple. Painting and drawing can be like Windex for my mind and places and experiences like this do teach me how to live and flow with change.” Please read her impressive bio on page 8. Additionally, find articles on Health & Wellness, Senior Living, Cutting-Edge Medical Technology, Family Laws, Travel & more.
