About the author: Growing up in the Northwest with an Artistic father, I created art as a child but did not start painting until about ten years ago. I started out by taking classes from other artists and attending life drawing studios. My main medium is watercolor but I also use oil, acrylic, and ink. Recently, I’ve experienced my work evolving into a more abstract representation of subject matter with an emphasis on design. Living here in Southern Oregon, I am especially interested in my surroundings and all the visual variety there is here.
Although it’s a bit challenging here in the Rogue Valley, I do love to get outside and paint. It’s very stimulating and freeing. There is always something to see and if the weather gets too bad I can always pack up and finish in my studio. There is just nothing like being outside and painting from life. I also enjoy the camaraderie of painting with my fellow artists.
Painting animals has been a theme of mine throughout the years. They are so interesting and display many human personality traits. Most recent works include subject matter which is readily available in my surroundings, such as chickens and goats. Alongside the animals, I am currently working on a series of household items that I find visually fascinating.
My education includes, but is not limited to, studying in Southern California with Ruth Ellen Hoag and Susan Fridley.
Most recent workshops attended:
Artistic Exploration with Skip Lawrence, February 2017
Jacksonville Plein Air Workshop with Gabriel Mark Lipper, September 2016
Painting in Southern France with Ruth Ellen Hoag, April 2016
I am a current member of Watercolor Society of Oregon, Artists Workshop of Southern Oregon and Southern Oregon Artist Resource.
Commissions Welcome!
As my webmistress works on adding content to my new website, I’m traveling to Roseburg for a plein air event. While I’m there, I might stop by Wildlife Safari and see if I can snap some reference images of the animals to use for future paintings. I’ll …

About the author: When I moved to Oregon in the 1970s I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Living here is an endless source of inspiration for many of my watercolor paintings. Oregon landscapes and rivers have been a favorite subject, as well as still life, florals and architecture. Another source of inspiration is traveling with my husband. We love Italy, the place of my family’s roots. I find the rich textures and colors of old world cultures, as well as the people, wonderful subjects to paint. It was here in Oregon that I was introduced to watercolors. I’ve had the privilege of learning under the instruction of accomplished watercolorists like Lavonne Tarbox-Crone, Judy Morris and Margaret Godfrey. These wonderful artists have inspired and nurtured me, but above all I want to acknowledge that my abilities are a gift of the Creator, whose beautiful masterpieces cannot be rivaled. I have been a member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon since 2004. Visit my new website at lindaabblettwatercolor.com!
