Linda
Saytes grew up in an artistic family. Her father and many of
her aunts, uncles and cousins were painters or musicians. Linda
has several of her father's pieces that he painted in medical
school.
As
a child, Linda painted outdoors with her family. She was guided
by them to watch the beauty of nature, the sunrise in the fog,
the colors inherent in winter clouds.
|
| Linda's
artistic intent is to capture the diverse beauty and serenity
of the California sea and sky; the beauty of the fog as it rolls
into San Francisco, the solitude of boats anchored in the lagoon
at Bolinas. |
| Although
a longtime resident of San Francisco, Linda is bi-coastal. Boston
is her East Coast home. While there, she paints the beaches of
Cape Cod and the Berkshire mountains. |
| Intrinsic
to her work is Linda's experience that life is both beautiful
and stressful. Within the stresses and rigors of everyday life,
one needs a respite, a place of peace. Linda strives to provide
that peace in her paintings. |
