The Galleries are ever changing and developing.  More art is being uploaded daily.  If there is something you would like more info on feel free to call me, skpe me (lindadiianetaylor) or email me.  

Creating an online gallery to display my art has had its challenges.  I am a very eclectic person.  I enjoy the oil painting as much as the drum making.  In placing the galleries deciding and sorting out what should go where I was faced with having to make decisions on what was more important.  It was all important. 

I have divided the Galleries  the  Groups.   There may be some cross overs but hopefully you will find what you are looking for.   If not, give me a call or email and I will  attempt to direct you to the correct group.




Painted Drums:  A collection of drums I have painted and some of the designs available for your drum.   The price of a personal painted drum is the price of the actual drum plus 200-400 depending on the complexity of  your  design.    The price includes an original design created just for you.   Some ask if I reproduce designs of other living artists.  I do not.  I do use symbolism similar to other designs but I do my utmost to make it original.  I also have northwest coast artists available to create a specific design for you.  Your investment for this depends on the artist.   

Original Oils:  All of my original oils are for sale.  If you like something make me an offer.   Some are sold.  Some are awaiting appraisal.  With time this will be labeled.  If there is something specific you would like and it is not priced give me a call. 
:
Pastel Animal Portraits:   This is a relatively new passion of mine.  I love animals and I have taken to visiting the local animal shelters.  I am currently working on a plan to create pastel portraits with a portion of the proceeds going to Animal Shelters and other projects directed at creating safe spaces for our four legged, swimmers, crawlers and winged ones.   If you have a charity that falls into one of this types of projects I do have some Art I am willing to donate for silent auctions or door prizes.   

Personal Portraits:  Each personal portrait is hand painted usually from Pictures.   If you have a particular picture you would like reproduced I might suggest we go with my newest process where I combine modern technology, with creativity and oils.   Otherwise I will paint from photos.   How this will work is that you will send me the photos and after review I will give you a quote.  Personal Portraits in Oils take 1-4 months to complete as I paint in the style of the layers and glazes and each layer has to dry before the next one is applied.   Please Naval Langa article about how I paint my paintings "How to Paint A Master Piece"  It will give you an idea of the complexity of painting an oil painting   If you are in the Vancouver area  I can also take photos for you for the price of lunch.   Not all previous customers wish their portrait to be online.  I will add what I can.   If you look at the Harmonica Player, The Water Goddess and Emmylou (cat) you will get an idea of what I can produce.

Digital Prints:  These are my silly and fun things to do.  Creating unusual designs and shapes and discovering that they have strong messages and creates a curiousity and wonder  within my own mind.   These will be available for download. 

Northwest coast  Collection:  This is a collection of the Northwest Coast Art I currently have for sale.  I have been a long time collector and love the art.  However much is in storage and I would love to see it displayed.  All of the Northwest Coast Art I have was purchased directly from the Artists.
