A sunny morning on the Mississippi down by the marina. I dream of sailing all the way down to louisianna some day.I'd take my sweet time and paint this ever changing river all the way down. Guess I better find someone else to steer!
19x12" Pastel on sanded paper. The light effects of the rainy early morning were fascinating to me, as well as the early spring leaves on that island. This is once again the famous Mississippi river.
I seem to paint it a lot. :)
$125.00. Once again, if you have any questions just email.
It's enjoyable for me to learn how to write haikus. My daughter, Jenelle, helped me with the structure of this one. It was so peaceful to sit in the field while I painted this, so far away from society, and maybe a little lonely. But I'm friends with solitude.
Glistening mirror's ripple, bends to trick the eye, The trees below grow crooked.
There's another Haiku my son wrote for me. I personally find it interesting when trees grow out of cliffs and banks, because they always seem to grow into strange shapes. I've been painting this river for a long time since I live very close by, and it's starting to be my most comfortable place to paint.
11x6'', Pastel on Paper. Frame if requested. $94.00
My name is Debra Link. My main goal as an artist is to bring hope and beauty to people's everyday lives through art. I was raised in South St. Paul, Minnesota, and was privileged to study under Phylis Anderson. She took me through the drawing exercises in the celebrated book "The Natural Way to Draw" by Nicolades. I have studied at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and at the Atilier Wicker/Howell in Minneapolis. I work in dry pastel, oil pastel, acrylic, oil, charcoal, graphite and collage. Lately I've been experimenting with the unusual surfaces of buffalo skulls and turtle shells. I specialize in portraiture and can work from both photographs and life. I am represented by MJL Impressions in Minneapolis and Boneyard Art Gallery in Farmington, and have my work in private collections in the United States and Mexico.
