THE ART OF LINDA VESPASIAN

'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.

"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.

Eager to please is what most spaniels are about

Twiggy, the Bull Mastif, REALLY relaxes and her tongue just falls out of her head.

"Stoplight"

"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 have always been in awe of how life changes direction. After graduating from college with in 1970 with a B.A. in Commercial Art, I mainly shelved much of my creative interest in order to raise a family, create and establish SEVERAL careers and struggle with life and responsibilities. At this later stage of life, I have reopened that artistic interest and began painting. Oils have always been my method of creative expression and I am exploring subject matter, colors and techniques in this medium. These are recent works. All of these works are available in giclee' prints, either on paper or on canvas and custom sized. Please e-mail for prices and sizes

"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.

"Late Evening Storm in Destin" Oil on masonite

The white sand and dunes and sunny beaches of Destin can change quickly when storms come up from the Gulf. The lighting from this storm that came up in late evening was very beautiful ands the clouds separated to let this last ray of sunshine through before the tempest.

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 produce 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.
