10:00am – 5:00pm | $8.50Explore wildlife through watercolors and oil on canvas board at Lindsay Wildlife Experience’s new exhibit: Wild Life, Here There Everywhere. The exhibit features watercolors by award-winning fine artist Linda darsow Sutton. Sutton’s beautiful work will be on display until May 31.
The 31 paintings exhibited on two floors at Lindsay Wildlife feature wildlife from, California to Africa, living in protected open spaces surrounded by the complementing light of their environments. A native Californian, Sutton is an acclaimed ‘plein aire,’ painter, working ‘on location’ to capture her subjects in nature.
“To be outside enveloped by nature is humbling and healing, even just imagining so,” Sutton said. “In all places there is Wild Life. Doing the small landscapes outside is to invite experience, not the least of which is wondering, imagining who’s watching me and allowing me to paint their home. Sometimes they show up.”
Her works have been exhibited and published worldwide. In addition to painting, she is an instructor in Transparent Color Theory in Watercolor, the elegant atmospheric effects enhanced by light bouncing through color from the white surface.
