2010 Evinston Paintout COVER ARTIST, Linda Blondheim

The 2010 Program Cover Artist is Award winning painter, Linda Blondheim. She lives in Gainesville, Florida and works primarily in acrylics and oils. Linda is a listed artist with Art Price, Ask Art, The American Blue Book and Marquis Who's Who in American Art. She has museum history in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida and is also gallery represented in Florida and Georgia.

id=Blondheim's work is often described as painterly or representational painting. Sometimes she is referred to as a representational expressionist or American impressionist. She enjoys plein air painting almost year round because of the mild Florida climate, but enjoys traveling throughout the south to capture the beauty found in each state. Some of Linda's work is done en plein air, but she does enjoy working from plein air studies and photographs to complete larger works in the studio. She can be seen regularly in and around Evinston with Henry, AKA: Studio Dog, painting in a field or scouting for new scenes. Her paintings are found in private and corporate collections throughout the United States. "North Florida Sky" was chosen for this year's program because it epitomizes the Evinston area which has both lovely sabal palms in the same field as 200 year old oaks. It is the quintessential north Florida scenic vista.

Linda earned a BFA from the University of Tampa, studied post Bac at University of South Florida and has been painting for 33 years. She is co-founder and member of Plein Air Florida, , an invitational member of both Plein Air Georgia and Plein Air Alabama and Fresh Air.
