I'll be at the Humboldt Artisan Festival at Redwood Acres this weekend, sharing a space with my friend, ceramic artist Loryn White. I will have small paintings, prints, cards and pins on display. Looking forward to bringing in the holidays!

New events in November

Full Flower

This month I am one of the featured artists at the Arcata Artisans gallery, and I have my work featured at the Morris Graves Museum in Eureka, in the gift shop for a holiday show. I've been making little bird paintings- they are great little gifts for the holidays and are great fun to create!

Tonight is the opening of my show at the Humboldt Carpet Gallery at 205 G Street in Eureka. I'll be showing my latest paintings there for the month of October along with fellow artists Andrew Daniel and Sasha Pepper.

Fall 2010

Ravens on Clothesline
Acrylic on Panel
24x24 inches

I'm shocked at how much time has passed since my last post. I was swept away by summer activities and I've been painting, painting, painting. "Ravens on Clothesline" is one of my recent paintings, now available at Plaza Design. Check it out if you are in the neighborhood!

Open Studios 2010

Open studios starts this weekend. My studio will be open to the public June 5-6, 11-5, and June 12-13, 11-5. I will have small and large paintings, prints, cards and pins for sale. I'm looking forward to it!

Rainy May

I am tired of the gray skies and rain we've been having all month, but on the bright side, I've been painting! I have a new painting inspired by my Russian Blue kitty, who I found lurking around in our camellia bush recently, searching for birds.

New Website

I have a new website that features my paintings- www.linneatobias.com. I enjoyed putting it together, and when I finished I wondered why I put it off for so long!

Creating New Work

I've been working on several new paintings for an upcoming show in May at the Morris Graves Museum- a small show on their ground floor, near the sculpture garden. I'm really looking forward to that and to Open Studios in June, where I will have my home studio open to the public. If you're in the Eureka/Arcata area, please come visit!

Spring Fever

I'm working in a series, trying to create several paintings with the same theme. They are joyful, colorful acrylic paintings that celebrate spring. I'm enjoying myself...I hope others enjoy them as well.

Sunshine

The sun is shining after a wild storm and a 6.0 earthquake yesterday. I barely felt it..I thought it was the wind from the storm! I'm posting more paintings to celebrate the feeling of spring in the air.

New Projects

Puppy training is progressing, and I've found time to make new paintings and pins/pendants to show at the Arcata Artisans gallery. In February I will be one of the featured artists at the gallery. My paintings have a springtime feeling to them, with plum blossoms and birds. If you're in Arcata, stop by the gallery on the plaza and check it out!

Happy New Year!

My year has begun on a hectic note, because a new puppy has arrived in our household. We have named her Lola and she is sweet and full of mischief. I have been so busy training her I haven't been able to paint yet...but by the end of the week I have to start!
