commissions
I love the opportunity to create custom paintings like those you see here. They are a combination of your ideas and my creative interpretation, bringing to life an image that delights and inspires you.
I’m happy to discuss your ideas, or to help you determine what might be perfect for your space. Multiple paneled pieces are a magnificent way to create a unique focal point and fill large walls with color and movement.
Contact me to discuss creating a special painting just for you!
A NEW CELEBRATION!
Recently I had the pleasure of making a commissioned painting to celebrate a friend’s wedding. For this piece I carefully chose and laid out flower petals, leaves, and little blooms from the ceremony to create a flowing design across two canvases.

OTHER RECENT COMMISSIONS
A VIEW FOR TWO
This was such a joy to paint! Joanne is an enthusiastic art collector and has purchased my work before, but had never commissioned a painting. It was fun to take her through my process.
Joanne says:
“This is our summer view of Lake Washington from our dining room. When our cat, Lucky Stripes, sees those crows on the lamp post he gets his hunter meow on. Thank you, Linda, for this beautiful piece! We will enjoy it for years to come.”
