Welcome to my web site. I am Linda Blondheim, landscape painter. I live in north central Florida and paint in this area with occasional painting trips to North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.
You can purchase my paintings with the blue paypal link next to each painting here on the web site. I will be happy to send your painting with free shipping. If you prefer, come to my loft studio to purchase a painting. My loft is located next to Fresh Market, upstairs inside Paddiwhack Gallery at 4122 NW 16th BLVD, Gainesville, FL
Frequently Asked Questions
1.Why should I buy your work?
I have devoted a lifetime to the study of painting. My work depicts the beauty and culture of the South and the experience of living in Florida. When you look at my paintings you are transported to the nature and beauty of wild and undeveloped Florida.
2. What do you offer that other painters do not?
Unlike most painters, I offer no copies or reproductions of my work. No fake paintings sprayed on canvas or paper. My motto has always been "original affordable art". Discerning collectors feel secure in knowing that they own the only one!! Original art offers the texture and richness that makes a painting beautiful, created by the artist's own hand and process.
I have become an environmentally conscious artist. I changed my medium to acrylics three years ago. It is cleaner and safer than oils. I also changed my framing to eco-friendly frames. They have a veneer of wood over recycled wood products. They are beautiful and much kinder to the environment I want to protect. I support two land trust organizations in Florida so I am serious about saving the beautiful trees and fields that I love.
3. How Can You Help Me?
I offer free shipping for all of my paintings.
I will hand deliver to Lake City, Ocala and Gainesville.
I offer installation advice and recommend the best framers in your area for custom framing.
I will help you select the best painting for your needs from my body of work.
I have a very easy and painless layaway program. You may keep your own schedule of payments and amount to pay for each payment. You have one year to pay for the painting. It hangs on the stairwell of my studio so you can visit it any time you like.
4. Why are your paintings unique?
My paintings come from the soul of a Florida Cracker. I was born and raised in Florida and love it passionately. I have a vision based upon my love for my subject and this translates to a unique view for owners of my paintings. They are purchasing my passion and memories of a childhood raised in the south, an appreciation of its nature and culture that only a native painter can recreate on canvas.
5. What can you tell me briefly about your work?
Most of my large paintings are built from many small studies I do in the field during the Fall to Spring months of the year. I use these little studies in values, color and composition to create large paintings in the studio. I have studied the Southern landscape on location for many years in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. I spend my summer painting in my cozy studio away from the heat and bugs, emerging when Fall colors return.
6. Why can I trust you?
I offer a full money back guarantee for 10 days for any reason from the day you receive your painting.
I offer a large number of testimonials from very happy and satisfied patrons. You can ask them any questions about me and my work.
I have been in business as a fine artist for over 30 years and as a full time landscape painter since 1995.
7. What do we have in common?
Most of my patrons share a deep love and respect with me for natural Florida and other coastal states. We share a love for the outdoors, birds, wildlife, trees, coastal marshes, rivers,springs, and rural lands. We strive to protect them from overdevelopment and waste. We enjoy art about nature, including landscape, seascape, flowers and gardens.
8. Where do you paint?
I participate in a few paint outs around Florida each year and I have a permanent residency at Fair Oaks Estate in Evinston, Florida. I also participate in temporary residencies for 7 to 10 days in various locations, including New Smyrna Beach, Bird Island, Crescent Beach and St Augustine.
