Thank you Lake Nokomis!


I had a fantastic day at the lake this past weekend and I want to thank everyone that came out to enjoy the day with me. I'm going to be spending much of my week going through all of the photos we took together.

Dogs Around the Lakes: Lake Harriet


Dogs Around the Lakes: Lake Harriet 2011. A new style for the print series with bright colors created with colored pencil/ink and just a hint of the band shell in the background. Thank you to the sixteen dogs for inspiring the artwork!

Trying new things


Yesterday, during the humid afternoon, I picked up three small linen canvases to give the surface a try. The surface was nice to work with but the weave was much more loose than the canvas I'm used to. The paint kept opening between the linen's weave. These were a fun afternoon experiment and I'm hoping to create a larger landscape in the near future.

Art A Whirl and New Website

Thank you everyone who visited during Art A Whirl this past weekend! I had a fantastic time and I can't wait to get into the studio to create new work based on your feedback and commissioned pieces. You all inspire me!

The new website by Kazoo Branding (another fantastic NE Minneapolis based company) will be launch in about one month. Please check back and let me know what you think. New work will be posted and Lintu Art will have a new look.
