Paintings in oil by Linda Lucas Hardy - The original title of this blog was, "Little Gems From Triple "A" Gallery". I decided to change the name.
About me...
- Linda Lucas Hardy
- I decided to change the name of my blog from “Little Gems” to ‘travels to the edge’. Why not? There’s more security being on the edge than there is walking a tightrope, wouldn’t you say? So being on the edge is where I am and where I plan to stay. You may wonder what that has to do with anything. If you do not know for the last 17 years I’ve been working in colored pencil & I’ve been very successful. I actually thrived on the control I got from a pencil, so getting used to a brush proved challenging. But I wanted to paint & that meant leaving my comfort zone & my area of expertise. Some say it’s good when you do that but I must admit, for a while, I was on shaky ground. Nevertheless I’d made up my mind &I was determined. I’ve been painting now since January & I’m relaxing more every day. I’m learning what works but especially what does not work. I hate dumb mistakes but I’ve found them to be excellent teachers. Anyway, everything in art is a challenge because it’s basically problem solving. We don’t ever have all the problems solved no matter what medium we work in. It sure can make life interesting though when you move away from the one you know the most about.

Sensitive yet rich, delicious color, looks like you are transitioning beautifully from colored pencil to paint!
Thank you Marcia. I love art, I love colored pencil...I'm driven to paint, I want to paint so I'm anticipating the time when I ((love)) to paint...I'm working it out in my head...what I mean by that is, I'm not exactly sure how I want my paintings to look. Once I see it, I'll go from there.
Anyway thanks for visiting and for leaving a comment.

Hi Linda,
This is the first time that I visit your blog, and was pleasantly surprise to find my own link on it. I have to say that I first discovered your web site about two years ago, and your colored pencil artwork has left me in awe and have found your imagery very inspiring as a visual person. The saran wrap, the plastic bags, the wonderful light and constrasts in your still lifes are a thing of wonder. You are a master really, one of the very best in the world. Your oil painting are equally beautiful. It was also through your web site that I discovered the link to Neil Hollingsworth, and from there I discovered the Blogging world. So everything in some capacity all goes back to you. Continued success, I'm a big fan!!! I have added your blog link to my own.
That is totally amazing Alvin! So how did you find my blog? I haven't put it anywhere...
Obviously I admire your work too since I linked your blog to mine. It makes you think the world really isn't that big after all.
And thanks for posting. I really do appreciate the compliments. Continued success to you too.
