THE GLANCE

OIL ON CANVAS

Torch Lily

I grow this beautiful lily in my courtyard. It's abundant spring blooms seem very exotic. This photo was a first place winner in a recent art show.

"Smoke"

My direction on this piece is to capture movement and depth. I feel these forms seem to spring from the dark background and move across the canvas. This piece is 30" x 36" acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas.

'THOUGHTS OF SEDUCTION" Original oil on board and final artwork computer manipulated.

I photographed him while on a trip to Mexico. He was sitting across from me at a restaurant and was sitting looking at the woman across the table from him. You knew what he was thinking. I wanted the enrichment of color to show the progression of desire.

"THE RED SAND BUCKET" Oil on canvas

You can take a child to the beach and they will never be bored, even with simple toys. The children here are very intent on their play and the beach casts strong lights and shadows.

"Purple Glasses" (Oil on canvas board)

As you can tell, Izzy is sassy! She tried on these purple glasses and the camera caught her delight in her new look. I couldn't help putting it on canvas.

"TWO COFFEES AND A LATTE" Oil on canvas

When girlfriends gather for "coffeetalk" the world becomes smaller, problems are addressed and laughter is shared.

GOLDEN PEARS

This fruit wins the prize for the most beautiful form

"A Watchful Eye" original 11x14 oil on masonite

I find it comforting how some dogs can appear to be so complacent and yet actually be aware of everything in their surroundings. My dog here, moves only his eyes to keep watch over his family.

"Can I help?" Oil on masonite 8" x 10")

The wonder of dogs is how they can read human thoughts. This guy is sitting here patiently giving support and understanding to his owner. If you ever need one more person to love you...get a dog!

"HEAT OF THE DAY" Oil on masonite

Flies buzzing, still summer afternoons and the cattle have found a shady spot.

"RICARDO"

Ricardo is a quirky, little chihauhua with a tongue that won\'t stay inside his head. He belongs to a friend of mine who has recently taken him to a dog whisperer to find what Ricardo thinks of his world. He\'s not saying much. Maybe he only speaks Spanish.

"SCRUFFY"

"SAM"

Eager to please is what most spaniels are about

Buck-toothed Beagle

Funny? What do you think?

Maddie

Maddie is OBSESSED with watching over her humans. There's no complacency with this dog and she does a very good job of watching over my son and wife and their 2 children.

"Stoplight"

Oil on masonite 8" x 10"

"Petunias" (Oil on masonite 8" x 10")

I planted this urn this spring and it sits outside my courtyard wall next to the gate. Gardening is also my passion and I feel this is a "ground up" creation of mine.

About Me

Linda Vespasian: Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States; I consider myself interested in life, finding things inspiring that I would not think worthy of exploring if I they hadn't fallen across my path. My art, like my life, is a work in progress and follows many subjects. My creative life has reopened within the past few years after having been shelved by the requirements of family and career. I began painting again and have been exploring subject matter and techniques in oil an acrylic. There seems to be an abundance of inspiration, but not enough time...so is life. At times, the composition of a work along with light and shadow becomes the important feature. At other times the subject matter, color and expression behind the subject become the important aspect. Typically, I work on gessoed masonite or stretched canvas. I am currently also creating in clay. I have a B.A. in art from the University of Tulsa. I also have a childrens book that I have written and illustrated. I am a working realtor. These are recent and older works. Some of these works are available in giclee' prints, either on paper or on canvas and custom sized. Please e-mail for prices and sizes of original works.

"Cedars in Woodward Park" Original oil on masonite 8x10

These beautifully interesting tree trunks were painted on location on an early September morning in a city park. I think the best part of the cedar tree is its trunk and bark.

"Bassman" (Oil on stretched canvas)

The bassman in a band is the steady, solid background member who keeps the beat and the music's tempo. I think that may be their nature as it is true for Lou, my husband, who keeps the pace of our lives in sync.

"Colander Art"

"Green Apples and a Pomegranate"

In working this piece, I was interested on the way the light played on the different surfaces, especially the stainless bowl.

Colored Dog Strip 12x36 on paper

I've recolored the original painting into this computer-generated collection. This is available in smaller or larger print sizes or individual colors.

"Bruscetta" Oil on masonite original 6" x 12"

The end of the growing season produces a tomato that has withstood the summer heat and dryness. Deep cracks appear and the smooth red skin has added color and texture that made my garden tomatoes much more interesting than the "pretty" tomatoes in the store produce section. These, along with my basil and garlic make me glad I took the time to plant and tend a garden.
