I am pleased to let you know that “Urban Balance”  was accepted into this year’s “Transparent Watercolor Society of America” (TWSA)

Exhibition, judged by John Salminen and Soon Y Warren.  The exhibit runs from May 5 – August 5 at the Kenosha Public Museum,

Kenosha, WI.  It’s been a while since I’ve played at totally non-objective painting.  And, it was work! but the results are worth it.

I think I will play with this some more.  Happy painting to the rest of you also!  Kathleen

Three paintings at a time is my favorite way to work.  Here is a beginning, intermediate and finished painting from three different inspirations.  The third is “Wind in my Sails” and reproductions are available on this website.  It’s not too late to sign up for my next workshop and learn all my secrets, including why and how painting on three paintings at a time works!  Influenced by Florida in theme with sunshine colors!

I’d love to see you in beautiful Hobe Sound, Florida March 13-16.Contact Linda at:  lindahirvonen@hotmail.com   Fun in the Sun!

Leaving Marquette driving through wind and snow my thirty “Industrial Evolution” series paintings made it to the Custom House Museum in Clarksville, TN. They will be on exhibit there from March 2 through May 2. It felt good to be in the sunshine and warmth as I continued traveling to my winter studio in Florida. I look forward to concentrating on my painting for the winter months.

Painting time is always interspersed with teaching time.  Excited to start this week at the Ft. Myers Beach Art Association to teach a “Chaos to Order” workshop from January 14-18.  The classes are always so much fun!  You can find all my workshop schedule on this website. Perhaps you will join me in one of these locations!

Chaos to Order!  This is the beginning, the Chaos, of preparation for my exhibition of thirty paintings heading for the Custom House Museum, Clarksville, TN.  The Chaos of Framing: measuring, measuring twice, cutting, ordering, putting it all together.  What’s missing? Order again….keep my eye on the prize!  The prize is the Order achieved when all is framed, inventoried, packed, delivered and hung in the beautiful space.  The bigger prize is when the audience views, enjoys and the communication of art is complete.  Beginning preparation now and opening in TN in March.  Dates to be announced – stay tuned!
