Art By Linda Jolly

Photo of Linda JollyLinda Jolly
I have a passion. I love to create the beauty of the world around me in colour. I have an eclectic style which ranges from realistic to contemporary, which I express with the vivid, bold colours and textures of acrylic paint.  My love of nature can be found in the flowers, skies, water, mountains and the prairies which appear in my paintings. I have been fortunate to travel with my husband to many beautiful places in the world. The photographs from our travels contribute to a wealth of reference material for my paintings. 

The avocation that I have created, began after I retired from my work life. I attended the Alberta College of Art for a course in watercolour which opened a whole new world of opportunity for me to create beautiful pieces of art to share with family, friends and the world of art lovers. I now paint mostly in acrylic paints and enjoy the textures and vibrancy of the wonderful hues that I create..  I continue my education by attending classes and workshops. I have been influenced by the work of the masters such as VanGogh and contemporary artists Georgia O.Keefe. Robert Genn and the Group of 7.  For several years, I have participated in juried and community Shows in Calgary, Cochrane and Southern Alberta.The world of Art provides me with countless hours of enjoyment and satisfaction.To create a representation of an image which begins with the click of my camera as I capture the beauty of a moment in time or a sketch of an idea as I am traveling down a road is truly fulfilling and I enjoy sharing the joy that I feel from this achievement with other art lovers. My paintings are enjoyed in homes and offices in Canada and the United States. 

“My intention is to invite the viewer into my painting to wander through the experience that I have created. I hope it provides a time for quiet reflection and to put the stress of life aside.” 

I hope you will take a few moments to view the images that are in my Gallery.. If you are interested in a particular painting  please contact me through my Contact Page.
