Profile Information

About:
I have been a teacher and a social worker....but always painted. I now have the time to do it full time!!
Arts Specialty:
I am mainly a painter of life and dreams and poetry
Website:
http://LindaPittsArt.com
Art is part of me and the special world it takes me to is almost beyond description.

When I was young and I traveled, I explored museums and parks and back streets and I learned !
I had free reign to explore Chicago, and I did!
These experiences were so varied and exciting for a young person alone and ideas poured into me. Eventually I studied at the Chicago Metropolitan Museum of Art.
I became a child protective worker when I graduated from college and learned the stark realities of poverty and death. Another education in life, a painful attempt to help peole escape the endless circle of cruelty and poverty. My art was sad and angry.
.
I returned to college and got a teaching credential attempting to do something positive. And I painted and painted.
I loved working with children, each one a piece of art themselves. As I got older my art changed and evolved.

When I retired ...Oh have I been waiting for this!!.......Ahhh art,
my release,
my love,
MY WORLD
........... now I can really have time to paint.

I step into my art space with paints and brushes and I begin to paint.....
and I'm gone.
Don't disturb me,
I'm in a world of swirling beautiful color and there I remain , splashing about in pure contentment and joy. All my life experiences come together and colors overtake me as I translate them onto canvas.
Oh what a feeling!!

107 on ARTHOP Night !!!???

Well, this post is probably for all of us artists who are going to be having ArtHops tomorrow night...
YE GADS, 107 ?!?!?.

I'm wondering if anyone in Fresno will be brave enough to venture out in that heat??
And why oh why does the heat wave have to hit on this particular Arthop night? "My night" as we are all thinking.

And for anyone who might try to answer this redundant question...I know the answer..I've lived in Fresno for gadzillion years and I know the answer...but I still cry into the s… Continue

My thoughts


Well I'm back.
I have missed the art scene.
I have missed seeing friends.

Nothing like a life changing illness to put a little perspective on everything.

What a fantastic feeling to see your artwork up on walls again.
It seems like it's been years.
It's been months and mon… Continue

I can paint again!

It's been four long months but I can finally paint again!
Wow, I feel like I've been reborn!
You can't (oh well, artists who see this WILL know) know how painful it is not to be able to drown yourself in those delicious colors! I am able to stand long enough now and my hands have regained stregnth.
I hear from others who have gone thru a bad illness that it will all take a while to regain everything, but ,Thank you God, I can paint again!!

Thank you Linda! And glad to here the plants are growing well.:o)
I just got back from the Alternative Press Exposition in San Francisco this week end. I'm working up my children's book into the form of a Graphic Novel that I plan to publish as a serial. Got lots of good info & some feed back. I'll have to post a couple of pages to show. Gotta get involved in the local art scene. Thursday night, my wife and I stopped by Bobba Fusion to catch a show a friend of ours had up there. Great emotional stuff! Christina Martinez (Haskin) http://JadedWolfStudios.etsy.com
Check her out!
