Stumbling block for many "figurative" painters is painting the human face and emotions in a "honest" way (not to be confused with "realistic")...a difficult thing to do without the abstractness imparting a grotesqueness to the figure. Linda seems to do that fairly well...when she choses to include the face. In her work it seems that often the facial features are outside of the frame or hidden, but when the face is hidden or outside of the frame, the figure takes on a lonely or solitary persona, which can be limiting.

I still need them close to me and now I can add Linda's work to my inspirational stockpile. My books on the Bay Area Figurists are also covered in paint but not dust–not yet!

I love her use of color and how the background is just as important as the figure - I almost do not consider these figure paintings. I love Linda’s work.
