"I look for freedom. I seek openness, wildness,
to be connected with nature and be free. I find that freedom among Arizona's diverse landscapes" - Linda Lindus
Above the Desert
"Deep Thoughts"- The desert is magical and mystical with its rugged landscapes that seem to draw you into a land of mystery and imagination. As you leave the desert floor, and look int the deep crevices, or travel from the floor to the top of the mesas, it calls to you. When I seek a place of comfort, I resort to Arizona's hidden prairies and deep canyons. To me the wildness is rejuvenating like the dramatic change in colors as the sun travels across the sky. "Deep Thoughts" may be seen in The Finer Arts Gallery in Cave Creek. The Gallery is located at 6137 E. Cave Creek Road, Cave Creek, Arizona.36 x 36 x 2" $3,295.00
"Purple Fog Rising"- Neither always hot and dry, there is a special desert beauty when the fog rises from the desert floor. Or perhaps when it seems to settle on the floor. The sky seems confused until the time comes when the fog rises. Fog reminds that confusion can be short-lived and our minds and eyes treasure those times when our imagination wanders to all that is beautiful. "Purple Fog" may be seen in The Finer Arts Gallery in Cave Creek, Arizona. 36 x 36 x 2" $3,295.00
"Just Plowed"- Albert Einstein famously said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” Imagination is generated from within and often unconsciously influenced by memories and feelings. "Just Plowed" 20 x 20 may seen at The Finer Arts Gallery in Cave Creek.
"Mystery Behind the Mesa" IWhen you look off into the desert as the sun sets, it may seem Mother Nature is hiding a secret beyond the craggy surfaced mesa. Add the colors of the brilliant skies with swirling clouds, one can only wonder if Mother Nature only appears to create mystery or if there is truly a mystery beyond. This 24 x 24 is available in my studio $1795.
Stormy Path Out It's heading for the high country and out of the canyon, but facing a storm along the way. Brilliant warm colors of the desert create a special warmth that remind us of Fall and maybe even pumpkin spice. Path 20 x 20 on splined canvas that is in my studio $995
You Can Leave Now - Long summers in Arizona, especially those where the annual Monsoons appear to be in hiding, make for the time when we wish for the storms to push the desert heat into a memory. One record after another, and clouds teasing with false promises of rain, so "yes" the summer can leave now. This 20 x 20 gallery wrapped canvas offered $995
"Fall Shadows In Color" - There are fall colors in Arizona. The most brilliant tend to be be in the higher elevations near Pinetop and Greer. There the quakies, or aspen, are brilliant against the giant pines. The colors against the moving sun and thin air create colors sometimes difficult to imagine. As the leaves fall the ground beneath takes on bold color and deeper, shadow patterns emerge in the dense forest. In the winter they are often dusted with snow. It's like they are taking a nap.

"Autumn Glows" - The most brilliant fall colors tend to be be in the higher elevations near Pinetop and Greer, although they can be nearly anywhere when the sun turns the sky that special yellow that seems to be embossed in gold.

Riding the Winds of Change - The rolling meadows to the north and west of Phoenix's Valley of the Sun are native glass meadows that change with each season and with the summer rains. In the Fall and before Arizona's gentle Winters arrive, the migratory birds ride the winds seeking a warmer climate. In the late Spring the flights change as the feathered ones fly North for cooler temperatures. There is always change and how we address it or Ride the Winds, is important to our well being much like the birds. This large painting is 40" x 40" on gallery wrapped canvas offered at SOLD

Ghostly Superstitions - To the east of Phoenix's Valley of the Sun is a 160,000 acre range that extends that miles and is the keeper of mysteries and legends. One belief of some Apaches is the hole that leads down to the lower world, or Hell, is located within the mountains. It is said that the winds that blow from the hole are those that cause severe Arizona dust storms. Another intriguing legend surrounds the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine. It was a "mother-lode" a mine discovered by Jacob Waltz, who revealed its location on his death bed. While there are claims that some have located the mine, others believe it has never been discovered which still leads to more treasure hunters searching for the legendary mine. The lore and history are said explained with displays in the Superstition Mountain Museum on the Apache Trail. The hiking of the1939 federally designated wilderness area extends across three Arizona counties, Maricopa, Pinal and Gila. This large painting is 40" x 60" on gallery wrapped canvas SOLD.
