Linda Eades Blackburn

I love living on the central Florida in the United States. The weather is mostly fantastic,except for the occasional Hurricane.

I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to spend 9 years living on a canal in Crystal River Florida. We have so much wonderful wildlife in my area, and because the house is next to a preserve, I would see Deer, Bobcats, Fox, Raccoons and Armadillos on a regular basis. Egrets, Blue Heron and Night Heron as well as Pelicans, Hawks, Osprey and even Bald Eagles are a common sight there. Being surrounding by this kept me constantly inspired.

I have recently moved back to Ocala, a more central location, in order to be closer to my family, and to work in a more private Studio environment with less distraction. This past year has been one of change and “settling in”, but I am now anxious to get back to the business of making art. Still a bit of organizing to do in the Studio, but I am set up enough to work and have several pieces going.

I love to paint what is around me as well as what is not. My works vary from Realism to Abstract, Portraits to, well just about anything. I love the variety of life and all that it has to offer.

I hope that you enjoy viewing my work. Please visit again soon, as I will continue to add new work often.
