About Linda WhiteI am intrigued by the way the patterns of the papers blend together to create a watercolor effect. Often I am surprised at the way a paper actually behaves. The textures and brilliant colors found in various papers lend themselves to the creation of super-realistic landscapes. Some of the papers "talk" to me: I see a tree trunk, fall foliage, mountains, sand dunes, a field of flowers, sky or water in the qualities of the sheet of paper. Sometimes the reverse side of a paper provides an entirely different effect. The inspiration for my work comes from my love of nature that I enjoy while I am hiking and backpacking here in Washington and all over the world. |
