Contemporary Paintings
About
Observations and everyday encounters painted in colorful, expressive strokes emphasizing light and shadow are the crux of my work.
My paintings have been exhibited in various galleries in Southern California. I am honored to have received several awards for my work.
It has been a privilege to have learned under teachers Lela Harty, Catherine Grawin, Jeff Yeomans, and Claudia Verciani, among others. From them I have not only learned the basics of a good painting, but also the skills of a good teacher.
Inspired by their enthusiasm, I now teach painting workshops and offer private lessons to beginning painters. For further details on learning to paint, please email me at lindamortonart@gmail.com. For students' comments on my workshops, see below.

Comments from Workshop participants:
What a memorable day! Thank you, Linda, for making our painting experience fun and as stress-free as possible. Lots of laughs and heartfelt joy!
As I expected, you are an excellent teacher and I enjoyed our class so much. What a pleasure to meet everyone and work on our paintings together.
What a fun time with a fabulous teacher. You are the teacher of the year in my book.
It was such a fun and rewarding time/ great to meet new friends/ thanks Linda for great instructions and having all the materials ready for us.
You are a seriously wonderful art teacher. I especially appreciated the way you did not scold me when I was the only student who would not follow the directions. You just reassured me that it was fine that I had a different way of approaching my art.
It was such a fun event...Your instruction was concise and very easy to follow - we all looked like budding artists.
