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.

A verrrrrrry blessed holiday to you! I look forward to your new paintings and pencil work! You are such an inspiring artist!
Best wishes to you and your family during the Holidays. Can't wait to see your gems for 2009.
Hi Linda. Just found your blog- I am in NE TX also- just moved here about 18 months ago. After beginning my career as a professional artist in pastel and getting some success (Pastel Journal, SW Art), I made a move to (really back to) oil painting. So, I understand the challenges you are facing- its worth it! Perhaps we can meet in real life one of these days!
